Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation required business intelligence and data analytics software, classified as software packages and information systems. The requirement covers the supply of software for organisational business intelligence and data analysis. UK Shared Business Services Limited acted as the buying organisation. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as goods and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Insight Direct (UK) Limited, is based in Sheffield. This requirement is relevant to software providers, technology resellers and data analytics specialists able to supply business intelligence and analytics products for a UK public-sector organisation.

This is an awarded and completed procurement, with Insight Direct (UK) Limited selected on 16 July 2026. The award value is £333,105.49 excluding VAT. The contract runs from 21 July 2026 to 20 July 2027, with a one-year initial term. The arrangement is a call-off from the G Cloud 14 framework, using a selective longlist and shortlist exercise rather than an open tender. The total maximum call-off value, including extensions, is £666,210.98 excluding VAT. The tender submission deadline was 13 July 2026 at 17:00. The award was for the full requirement and was evaluated through the framework call-off process.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for business intelligence and data analytics software from UKRI and its shared-services buyer. A competitor preparing for a future requirement would need a credible portfolio of business intelligence and data analytics products, together with the ability to supply, support and maintain software for UK-wide public-sector use. The successful route was a selective call-off from the G Cloud 14 framework, so suppliers would need to understand that framework route and be positioned to respond to shortlist exercises. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, meaning smaller software providers and specialist analytics firms may be commercially relevant if they can demonstrate reliable delivery capacity, appropriate product expertise and public-sector procurement readiness.
