Summary of the contracting process

UK Industrial Fusion Solutions Ltd (UKIFS) has completed the procurement process for "Data Management Services," which focuses on engineering simulation and experimental data management within the STEP programme. The procurement was carried out as an open procedure and awarded to Capgemini UK PLC, with a contract value of £457,790 gross. The award was finalised on 3rd June 2026, and the contract period spans from 8th June 2026 to 8th January 2027, with services delivered in Oxfordshire, UK (Region: UKJ14) and some associated locations. The procurement method was open, allowing wide participation, and made use of the standard legislation (UKPGA 2023/54).

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in data management services, particularly those adept at handling complex engineering data and eager to collaborate on long-term data platform development. Large enterprises like Capgemini were successful, but the process also reported participation from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), highlighting the inclusivity of the bidding approach. Companies focusing on technical innovations and capable of designing scalable data solutions could find similar opportunities rewarding, as they offer potential growth and engagement with government-backed projects situated within regions like South East England.
