Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process undertaken by ORE Catapult, a public undertaking based in Glasgow, United Kingdom, has successfully reached the award stage for the provision of a Contract & Documentation Management System. The procurement, identified under tender reference ORE/25/047, sought goods in the form of industry-specific software packages. This direct award was granted to ThinkProject UK Limited, based in Gloucester, under the rationale of technical reasons for single suppliers. The contract, valued at £168,190 with a gross amount of £201,828, was signed on 17th September 2025 and will be active from 1st October 2025 to 31st December 2028, mainly serving the region of North East England (UKC21).

This procurement provides business growth opportunities, particularly for large enterprises specialising in software development for contract management, document control, and data archiving. Companies with expertise in developing industry-specific software packages that ensure contractual compliance and facilitate quality control and archiving of operation and maintenance data are especially well-suited for similar future opportunities. The direct award process can expedite procurement projects that require specialised technical solutions, providing a competitive edge for firms with unique technical capabilities and robust credentials.
