Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) bought a renewal of Moody’s Impairment Studio software and its forecast database. The purchase is for software and information systems supporting impairment analysis and forecasting. Delivery is in Wiltshire. UKRI is the buying organisation, and Moody’s Analytics UK Limited supplied the software. The requirement combines continued use of a named supplier’s specialist product with access to its forecast database, rather than a broad software development or general IT services project. It is relevant to suppliers working with financial impairment software, forecasting data and systems used within research and innovation organisations. The award covered one lot, relating to the Moody’s Impairment Studio requirement.

UKRI made a direct award to Moody’s Analytics UK Limited. The stated rationale was the supplier’s unique knowledge and integration into UKRI’s Innovate UK infrastructure. The award was made on 28 July 2025, with a contract value of £252,974.32 including VAT. The contract was signed on 23 September 2025 and ran from 24 September 2025 to 23 September 2028, but was terminated as completed on 23 September 2026. Its reported final value was £252,974.32 including VAT. The procurement comprised one lot. The published information gives the direct-award rationale as the basis for the decision; it does not set out separate scored evaluation criteria. The selected supplier was Moody’s Analytics UK Limited.

For suppliers assessing this buyer’s future requirement, the award indicates demand for continued access to Moody’s impairment software and a forecast database, with integration into Innovate UK’s infrastructure. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that its product can support the same impairment and forecasting use, and that it can integrate reliably with the relevant UKRI systems. The stated reason for selecting Moody’s was its unique knowledge and existing integration, so evidence of product-specific expertise and the ability to maintain or replace an established system would be important. The scale is a specialist software and data supply for a central government research and innovation organisation, rather than a general-purpose IT delivery. The contract’s completion records an established need for this particular capability.
