Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "UKRI-5129 Forming Markets for Resource Efficiency Innovation," initiated by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), was aimed at researching and analysing strategies to facilitate the development of markets for low-carbon, resource-efficient materials and products. The procurement, which had a legal basis in UK legislation 2023/54, took the form of an open procedure and fell under the services category, specifically focusing on research and development. Based in Swindon, Wiltshire, the buying organisation conducted the process to identify potential interventions before contract award on 13th October 2025. Although the contract initially ran until 31st March 2026, it was later terminated in July 2026 upon completion of its objectives with a gross final value of £354,728.42.

This tender provided substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the research and development sectors, particularly those specialising in sustainable and resource-efficient technologies. The open procedure and emphasis on creating circular business models were well-suited to organisations with innovative capabilities and a focus on sustainability. For large companies such as Environmental Resource Management Limited, which was awarded the contract, this presented a chance to contribute to significant market advancements while fostering growth through strategic collaboration with Innovate UK and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were also encouraged to engage, offering a broad scope for various business sizes to participate and leverage growth in the sustainable development market.
