UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a public authority part of the central government, has terminated a contract related to the IUK Built Environment Data Sharing Infrastructure project. The contract, initially awarded through a direct award procedure due to exclusive Intellectual Property Rights, involved services in the IT industry category, specifically covering consulting, software development, internet, and support. Despite being complete with a total value of £400,000, the agreement with Live Data Technologies Ltd was terminated as of 15 July 2026, following its scheduled completion at the beginning of June 2026. Located in Swindon, Wiltshire, the procurement task was conducted as a direct award under the 2023 Procurement Act.

This contract provided an opportunity for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in IT services to collaborate with a major UK government entity. Businesses with capabilities in consulting, software development, and related IT services could significantly benefit from engaging in such projects, especially those holding specific technical or intellectual property rights that align with the demands of public sector innovations. Although the contract is now concluded, similar future opportunities, especially within the public sector's technology initiatives, could offer substantial growth prospects for suitably equipped businesses.
