Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "UKRI-6215 Workday Extend (Platform as a Service)" was orchestrated by the United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) and pertains to the development software industry, specifically focusing on platform interconnectivity. Located in Swindon, United Kingdom, this procurement has concluded with the award stage being completed. The contract commenced on 27 July 2026 and is set to conclude on 26 July 2029. The procurement was conducted through a direct method, specifically a Single Tender Action below the threshold, and had a tender period ending on 14 July 2026. The value of the contract is GBP 94,725.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses capable of delivering bespoke application development services within existing frameworks. It is particularly advantageous for companies with expertise in technical computer support and platform interconnectivity software development. However, this procurement does not favour SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting that larger firms with established capabilities in this domain are better suited to engage with such opportunities. The contract awarded to Workday Limited underscores the need for robust technical support and development services, appealing to businesses aiming to expand their portfolio in similar sectors.
