UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation, located in Swindon, United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for the "DDaT26211 - Support Contract" in the goods industry category, specifically focusing on software packages and information systems. The procurement was managed through a limited competition method and followed legal guidelines under the UK Public General Acts of 2023. The contract, awarded on 19th March 2026 to Full Control Networks Distribution Ltd, will commence on 1st May 2026 and conclude on 30th April 2027. The value of the contract is GBP 15,634 net, with a total gross amount of GBP 18,760. The procurement process involved parties such as UK Shared Business Services Ltd, acting as the procuring entity.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software support and distribution. Companies classified as small and medium enterprises (SMEs), such as Full Control Networks Distribution Ltd, can find such contracts advantageous due to the focus on providing niche technical solutions. Businesses well-suited to compete in similar opportunities typically demonstrate strong expertise in software system support and distribution, particularly if they can effectively operate within the parameters of limited competition scenarios. This contract, therefore, represents a valuable opportunity for SMEs aiming to expand their service offerings within the public sector.
