Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation has concluded a procurement process for the provision of Studio suite software, with the contract awarded to Dassault Systemes SE. As the principal buyer, UK Research and Innovation is a central government public authority, based in Swindon, United Kingdom. The procurement process was conducted via direct award due to technical reasons, specifying that only a particular supplier could meet the requirements. The procurement pertains to the industry category of software package and information systems. The contract was signed on 11 May 2025 and is set to be active from 12 May 2025 to 11 May 2026, with an overall contract value of £17,372.27.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in software development and related services, specifically those capable of providing specialised suite software solutions. The nature of a direct award signifies that while competitive competition was absent this time, businesses in this industry should focus on building niche expertise to enhance their chances in future tenders with similar technical prerequisites.
