Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "PS25362 - Go-Science Emerging Technologies Workshop," conducted by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), has reached the award stage. The workshop aims to bring together experts from various disciplines to explore emerging technologies with both defence and civilian applications. This procurement was executed through a selective process, specifically a mini competition under the Crown Commercial Services RM6126 Research & Insights Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), and has been awarded to PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS LLP. The procurement falls under the category of research and development services, with the contract period running from 30th January 2026 to 31st March 2026. The workshop's scope includes the UK and extends to regions such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and beyond.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses involved in research and consultancy services to engage with government projects aiming at technological advancement. Although the current award has been completed, similar future tenders could provide prospective opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) adept in emerging technologies and strategic consultancy across international markets. Businesses that have a robust capacity for research in both defence and civilian sectors would find potential growth avenues in similar procurements, directly aligning their expertise with the strategic goals of government initiatives in science and technology.
