Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, Wiltshire, is awarding a contract under the title "UKRI-5918 IUK Business Growth - BeauhurstImpact". This procurement, classified under "Industry specific software package", involves a subscription access to the BeauhurstImpact SaaS platform, including user licences, standard support, and onboarding training. The contract is set for a term from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with the potential to extend for two additional 12-month periods. The award stage was initiated via a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, with a total contract value estimated at £825,900 GBP. The location for delivery falls within the South West region of the United Kingdom, notably at Polaris House, North Star Avenue, SN2 1FL.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth for businesses involved in software and technology services, particularly those capable of providing SaaS platforms and associated support services. Despite the selective procurement method, businesses with established frameworks or existing agreements could notably benefit from competently delivering industry-specific software packages. Large enterprises or those with significant capacity may find these opportunities compelling, especially given the financial value and multiple phases of contract extension. Business Funding Research Limited, trading as Beauhurst, has been designated as the supplier, showcasing successful engagement in this sector.
