UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has concluded a procurement process for a Matrix Booking System Licence, which falls under the industry category of software packages and information systems. This single-supplier procurement, awarded on 25 March 2025 without competition due to the absence of reasonable alternatives, was valued at a gross amount of £19,123 and will be in effect from 30 April 2025 to 29 April 2026. The procurement stage is complete, with the award being managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, both based in Swindon, UK, in the UKK14 region.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software package solutions and booking systems. Although the procurement process was direct and below the competitive threshold, similar future opportunities may arise. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can offer unique or specialised software services are particularly well-suited to compete in this sector, especially when they can demonstrate innovation or exclusive technology solutions that meet highly specific needs of public authorities.
