UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation, a central government authority headquartered in Swindon, has completed the procurement process for consulting services under the title "DDaT26175 - Consulting services." The award was finalised on 10th March 2026, with the contract running until 4th March 2027. This tender falls under the services category, specifically focusing on IT, consulting, software development, and internet support services in the UK. The procurement was executed directly due to the technical nature of the requirements, which limited competition to a specific supplier, Good at Work Ltd.

The direct procurement approach signals an opportunity for businesses with specialised expertise in IT consulting and software development, particularly those with niche capabilities, to engage further with UK Research and Innovation for future contracts. SMEs like Good at Work Ltd, which operate within specific technical domains, are well-suited to benefit from securing similar contracts. This can enable such businesses to leverage their specialised services, enhancing their market visibility and creating avenues for growth within the public sector's procurement landscape.
