Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) is inviting tenders for a Commercial Management System. The procurement is classified under computer-related management services (CPV code 72510000), and the project aims to integrate a web-based commercial management system to support the entire procurement lifecycle. The project includes objectives such as ensuring eSourcing compliance with PCR 2015 and the Procurement Act 2023, enhancing process efficiencies, improving visibility of pipeline and progress, and enabling better contract management. This open procedure tender allows written submissions in English and has a newly amended deadline for submission until 6 January 2025, with planned live system demonstrations on 9 or 10 January 2025. The location for project delivery is within the United Kingdom, specifically Swindon.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), to collaborate with UKRI on a high-impact project. Companies that specialise in providing advanced eSourcing systems, contract management solutions, or related computer-based management services are well-suited to compete. The contract, valued at GBP 400,000, involves delivering both core functionalities such as eSourcing and contract management, and the possibility of additional functionalities like pre-procurement activity and supplier management. Businesses that can demonstrate rigorous quality standards (70% weighting) and competitive pricing (30% weighting) are encouraged to participate, as successful delivery can enhance their portfolio and market reputation.
