Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process undertaken by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) involved a direct award for the provision of non-clinical staff under Framework RM6277 Lot 2. This procurement falls within the industry category of "Business and management consultancy and related services" and covers the Swindon region in the United Kingdom. The process was completed, with the contract being awarded on 17 December 2025. This was a limited procurement method conducted without prior publication of a call for competition, as it was considered outside the scope of the applicable directive.
