Summary of the contracting process

The UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) has completed the procurement process for consultancy services under the title "UKRI-4418 - UK Research Integrity Office." Managed out of their headquarters in Swindon (SN2 1FL), this tender falls within the research and development services category. Specifically aimed at external consultancy services, it was procured via a limited method due to the specialised nature of the engagement, which necessitated sourcing without prior publication of a call for competition. The services are required to be delivered in Croydon (UKI62). This process has now reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 24 October 2024, valuing GBP 49,950.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in research and consultancy services, particularly those capable of delivering highly specialised knowledge and integrity services. Given the technical specificity and the nature of the award without a competitive call, large-scale firms with established expertise in the research consultancy domain would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future, helping them expand their portfolio and client base in the public sector. The awardee for this tender is the UK Research Integrity Office Ltd, a reputable large-scale supplier based in Croydon.
