Summary of the contracting process

The UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), located in Swindon, is currently managing the "UKRI-1174 Design for Growth Support Programme". This procurement process falls under the industry category of business and management consultancy services, and it is at the contract award stage. A recent update on May 27, 2022, announced an extension to an existing contract, increasing its value from £800,550 to £1,200,800 and extending its duration to August 31, 2022. The initial contract was intended to assist companies affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and included services like Design Coaching and Design Awareness Training.

This opportunity can significantly contribute to business growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can provide consultancy and training services. Businesses with expertise in design, training programme services, and those experienced in supporting innovation-led projects would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The programme's focus on enhancing design capabilities within organisations presents a fertile ground for firms looking to deliver valuable services that can help adapt to the challenges posed by the pandemic.
