UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation, a central government authority, has concluded a procurement process for the delivery of two custom workshops in the training services sector, with a completion date set for 11 January 2026. This contract, identified under CSP25675, involves a direct procurement method without competition, as it leverages technical reasons where only a specific supplier can meet the requirements. The workshops will occur within the United Kingdom, and the procurement status is marked as complete, with an estimated contract value of £14,250, running from 15 December 2025. Framework Training Ltd, a Swindon-based SME, has been awarded the contract to supply these services.

This procurement offers significant potential for business development within the training services industry, especially for specialized providers capable of delivering bespoke workshops. Businesses with expertise in creating tailored training modules and possessing the technical capacity to meet unique workshop requisites will find growth opportunities in such non-competitive direct awards. Since UK Research and Innovation can often bypass competition due to technical specificity, companies in this niche market may benefit from forming strategic relationships and enhancing their bespoke training solutions to align with technical demands of similar future contracts. Such scenarios highlight the prospects for SMEs to prosper by providing niche services to government entities.
