Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation required a pension dashboard: software and information systems supporting pension-related information and services. The requirement was bought by UK Shared Business Services Limited on behalf of UKRI. Delivery is associated with Swindon, at postcode SN2 1PL. The procurement is categorised as goods, although the requirement is a technology solution rather than a physical product. The selected supplier, Heywood Limited, is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The opportunity is therefore relevant to software providers with experience developing, supplying or supporting pension dashboard platforms and related information systems for research or other public-sector organisations. Businesses focused solely on unrelated goods, general IT supply, or services without pension-dashboard capability are less closely aligned with this requirement.

This is a completed, awarded procurement rather than a current competition. UK Shared Business Services Limited used a limited competitive quotation procedure below the public procurement threshold. The quotation deadline was 14 August 2024 at 11:00, and the contract was awarded to Heywood Limited on 3 October 2024. The initial estimated procurement value was £74,200 excluding VAT. The awarded call-off contract value is £114,378 excluding VAT. The contract began on 30 September 2024 and, following a time and value variation using the optional 12-month extension, runs until 29 September 2027. The award is active. Evaluation was conducted through the competitive quotation process, with the procurement identified as suitable for SMEs.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for a pension dashboard solution within UKRI’s business-services environment, delivered through UK Shared Business Services Limited. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a proven pension technology product or implementation capability, including the ability to provide reliable software and information systems rather than only general consultancy or hardware. The successful supplier’s SME status indicates that a smaller specialist technology business can meet this type of requirement. Relevant evidence would include comparable pension-dashboard deployments, dependable information management, implementation and support capability, and the capacity to operate within a below-threshold competitive quotation route.
