UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) bought continued support for its DevSecOps project: governance, implementation and migration of a secure-by-design and secure-by-default environment. The work concerns software systems and the processes needed to build and migrate that environment securely. It was delivered in the United Kingdom. The stated purpose was to continue support for a system already being implemented, rather than to establish a new project. The procurement covered one lot and was awarded to CONTROLPLANE. This requirement is relevant to suppliers providing DevSecOps project support, particularly work involving secure system implementation, migration and governance. The procurement description does not identify particular software products, technical standards or named components, so the requirement should be understood from its stated project scope rather than assumed to cover a specific product or platform.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to CONTROLPLANE by direct award, justified on the basis that the supplier had unique technical knowledge of the system being implemented. The award was dated 22 August 2025 in the published process information. The contract was signed on 13 October 2025 and covered 20 November 2025 to 31 May 2026. The awarded value was £690,110.30 excluding VAT (£828,132.36 including VAT). The contract is recorded as terminated; implementation ended on 31 August 2026, and the termination reason is classified as contract completed. The completed contract’s final value was £1,009,663.38 excluding VAT (£1,211,596.06 including VAT). There was one lot; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded.

For suppliers considering similar UKRI work, this procurement shows demand for continued DevSecOps support tied to an existing system, with governance, implementation and migration all within scope. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate relevant technical knowledge of the system concerned, since UKRI’s stated reason for selecting CONTROLPLANE was its unique knowledge of that system. Experience delivering secure-by-design and secure-by-default environments, overseeing their implementation and managing migration would therefore be directly relevant. The requirement was substantial and covered both advisory governance and practical delivery, so suppliers would need capability across those elements rather than a narrow security or software specialism. The record does not identify particular certifications, staffing levels or technical products; suppliers should not infer that any specific accreditation or platform was required.
