UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority based in Swindon, Wiltshire, is finalising a procurement process for the renewal of its InCites Benchmarking & Analytics subscription for the period from 1st November 2025 to 31st October 2026. The industry category is service-based, specifically subscription services, with Clarivate Analytics (UK) Ltda, a large business located in London, listed as the supplier. The procurement method used was direct, below the threshold without competition, culminating in an award status of "active" as per the most recent details dated 27th October 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in subscription and analytics services. Although the procurement method was direct, the successful award to a large supplier highlights the potential for other large-scale analytics firms to establish relationships with central government bodies like UKRI. Such entities benefit from showcasing their capabilities in providing critical data and analytics services essential for research and innovation sectors. This contract serves as a precedent for future tenders where demand for specialist analytics subscriptions is evident, especially for organisations keen on entering or expanding their footprint within the public sector.
