Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority, has concluded a procurement process for the supply of NEBOSH General Certificates, awarding the contract to Astutis Ltd. The procurement was conducted through a limited competition method, specifically a procedure below the threshold intended for limited competition scenarios. The process has now reached the contract stage, with the contract being active from 26th September 2025 to 8th April 2026. The procurement's main industry category is services, with a focus on staff training services, and operations are geographically centred in the United Kingdom, particularly managed from UKRI's Swindon office.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialising in the provision of professional certification and training services. Businesses like Astutis Ltd, which can offer tailored staff training solutions, are well-positioned to benefit from such governmental contracts. The procurement process underscores an emphasis on competitive efficiency, where businesses capable of meeting specific training needs through competitive quotations are likely to thrive. The alignment with governmental requirements and the potential for establishing a long-term relationship with a key public authority make this an exciting opportunity for SMEs looking to enhance their market presence within the UK's public sector training services market.
