Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "UKAS Dedicated Temporary Resource to support UKCA enquiries" has been initiated by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, based in London, England. This contract falls under the category of "Miscellaneous business and business-related services" with a total value of £20,280. The procurement method used was a direct single tender action, and the contract period runs from 11 July 2022 to 9 January 2023. The deadline for the tender had been 30 June 2022, in anticipation of increased demand for UKCA accreditation as the mandatory deadline of 1 January 2023 approaches.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those offering consultancy and support services related to accreditation inquiries or compliance. Companies that specialise in regulatory consultancy and temporary staffing solutions would be well-suited to compete for this contract, which aims to bolster the UK Accreditation Service's capacity to manage an anticipated surge in accreditation requests. The emphasis on voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) participation further highlights the potential for smaller, community-focused organisations to engage in the process.
