UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, led by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), focuses on the review of research community practices and funder expectations for research data management plans (DMPs). The tender was conducted via an open competition process below the threshold, managed using the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. Located in Swindon, UKRI, a public authority within the central government, sought suppliers to support the development of a new research data policy. The related contract has now been awarded, with Research Consulting Limited selected as the supplier, and spans from 6th October 2025 to 29th December 2025. The procurement focused mainly on services related to market and economic research.

This tender offers significant opportunities for companies in the market and economic research and consultancy sectors, particularly those specializing in research and development services. The selection process emphasized the supplier's ability to deliver technical excellence, accounting for 80% of the evaluation criteria, with the remaining 20% focused on price. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Research Consulting Limited, which was awarded the contract, are well-suited to compete in such tenders, given their capacity to adapt and tailor solutions to niche requirements, promoting business growth within the dynamic sector of public research policy formulation.
