Summary of the contracting process

The contract titled "UKRI-5279 HR SUPPORT & ADVICE" was initiated by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a prominent public authority associated with the central government in the UK. Located at Polaris House, Swindon, Wiltshire, UKRI conducted the procurement process through a direct method, specifically below the threshold without competition. This contract, categorised under human resources management consultancy services, was completed with the final implementation date noted as 30th November 2025. Despite the contract's termination status and completion, it was executed within the regional confines of the UK. The contract was awarded to Conflict Management Plus Ltd, based in Royston, demonstrating the successful conclusion of necessary HR support services provision.

This procurement initiative presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for firms specialising in HR consultancy services. SMEs focusing on human resources management and advisory roles can thrive in this environment by delivering specialised consultancy services, as exemplified by the award to Conflict Management Plus Ltd. The contract does not require competition procedures, making it advantageous for smaller companies aiming to establish direct relationships with public authorities like UKRI. Firms with expertise in resolving HR conflicts and providing strategic advice, particularly for research-oriented organisations, would be ideally positioned to leverage such opportunities for business expansion.
