Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "ITEP0993 - Human Centered Design Delivery RIS3," involves National Highways, a central government public authority located in Guildford, United Kingdom. The process falls within the industry category of information technology services and is targeted at the delivery of a Pupil Labs eye-tracking hardware kit with six months of technical support for use in user research by the Design Services Group within Digital Services. The procurement method used was direct purchase, conducted below the threshold without competition. The contract was awarded on 22nd July 2025 to Pupil Labs GbmH, a large supplier based in Berlin, Germany, and had an implementation end date set for 31st December 2025. However, the status of the contract was later marked as terminated in April 2026 as the contract was completed.

This tender presents clear opportunities for businesses specialising in information technology services, particularly those focused on hardware supply and technical support. Companies with expertise in user research tools can gain insights and expand their offerings by engaging in such procurements. Businesses well-suited to compete for similar contracts include those with a proven track record in delivering innovative technology solutions and reliable technical support services. As National Highways seeks precise and specialised services, companies that can demonstrate expertise in human-centred design delivery would benefit from the visibility and growth potential associated with delivering high-standard services in government-led projects.
