Summary of the contracting process

The UK Atomic Energy Authority has completed the procurement process for the "Unified DTIL Engine", a project focused on the development of industrial control software under the CPV code 72212150. This initiative, positioned within the services category of the industry, was conducted through a limited procurement method - an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The procurement rationale pointed to the uniqueness of the work, with TOIA Ltd acquiring the rights due to exclusive technology initially developed by Generic Robotics. The project is based in the United Kingdom, with a completed tender stage as of 31st July 2025. The contract, valued at £816,249, has been signed and is active.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) within the industrial control software development sector. Companies specializing in agile software development methodologies may find this project aligned with their business offerings, given the project's innovative and specialised nature. Enterprises that hold proprietary or intellectual expertise in niche industrial software solutions will be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders released by public bodies such as the UK Atomic Energy Authority.
