Summary of the contracting process

United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) procured Workday Extend as a platform-as-a-service to support the development, deployment and management of bespoke applications within its existing Workday environment. The requirement covers software development, platform interconnectivity and technical computer support services. This is a technology services contract delivered for UKRI in Swindon, at Polaris House, North Star Avenue, with UK-wide organisational context. The work is intended for a supplier able to provide and support applications that operate within the Workday environment, rather than a standalone software product or general IT service. The procurement is categorised as services and relates specifically to the Workday Extend platform.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. UKRI used a direct single-tender action below the threshold, rather than an open competition. The tender closed on 14 July 2026 at 12:00 BST, and the award was made to Workday Limited on 23 July 2026. The awarded contract value is £94,725, and the contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 26 July 2029. Workday Limited is the sole named supplier. The award is active and the contract period matches the planned service term. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

For a competing supplier, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for Workday Extend capability within a research-funding organisation's existing Workday estate. A credible future provider would need practical expertise in developing, deploying and managing bespoke applications on Workday Extend, together with the ability to handle platform interconnectivity and ongoing technical support. Experience of integrating applications into an established Workday environment would be important, as would the capacity to provide dependable service across the full delivery and support lifecycle. The selected supplier's position as Workday Limited indicates that strong platform-specific knowledge and a direct ability to support Workday technology are commercially relevant to this buyer's requirement.
