Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by UK Research and Innovation pertains to the provision of computer networks equipment under the title "DDaT25191 - Computer networks equipment". The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically focusing on software packages and information systems. UK Shared Business Services Ltd is managing the procurement, which took place in Swindon, United Kingdom. This concluded procurement followed a limited competition process and was finalised with an award on 1st May 2025. The contract, valued at GBP 15,424, will run from 1st May 2025 to 30th April 2026. The procurement method used was below threshold with limited competition, reflecting a targeted approach suitable for the specific needs of central public authorities like UKRI.

This tender presents an opportunity for suppliers in the computer networks and IT solutions industries, particularly those focusing on software packages and information systems, to establish and expand their presence in the UK public sector. The award to Full Control Networks Distribution Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise, underscores the potential for similar organisations to secure contracts by meeting specific requirements set out by central government authorities. Businesses well-suited to compete for such tenders would benefit from having a specialised product offering and the ability to engage effectively in limited competition procurement exercises, which can provide a foothold in the public procurement market and lead to further opportunities.
