The procurement process, initiated by UK Research and Innovation, focuses on providing online training services without competition, as a specific supplier's expertise is required. The process falls under the industry category of training services and is managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, with the contract successfully awarded to RITTAL LIMITED. Located in Swindon, this process pertains to the central government authority. The contract spans from 31st March to 30th April 2026, with the award status marked as complete, indicating the contract's active commencement. This direct procurement method was utilised, complying with legal standards, and absent of competitive measures due to technical requisites.
