Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process spearheaded by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a central government public authority located in Swindon, Wiltshire, involves the acquisition of a "Know Your Business (KYB) Platform" from nCino Global Limited. This platform, which integrates both business intelligence and due diligence, is designed to work seamlessly with systems like Salesforce and Workday. The procurement stage has reached completion following a direct award, indicating that UKRI recognised the unique fit of nCino’s product for their requirements. Critical dates include the award notice issued on 24th June 2026, with the contract period commencing on 7th July 2026 and running through to 30th June 2027. The procurement focuses on goods, specifically accounting software, under the CPV code 48443000, with delivery targeting the UKK14 region.

This contract opens up substantial opportunities for businesses operating in the realms of software development, particularly those specialising in accounting, compliance, and business intelligence platforms. With a gross award value of over £239,603, large-scale companies with the capability to integrate sophisticated systems offering comprehensive data solutions would find such projects lucrative. The direct procurement approach indicates a need for bespoke solutions or niche capabilities, suggesting that firms with unique or specialised offerings, particularly in linking platforms like Salesforce via API, stand to benefit significantly.
