UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), based in Swindon, Wiltshire, focuses on the provision of development services for NERC Centres. This contract, under the "Business organisation services" category, uses a limited procurement method defined as "Below threshold - limited competition". The awarding stage is complete, with Human Economics Ltd, a Barnet-based SME, successfully contracted on 30 June 2026. The contract term spans from 6 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, with a gross value of £99,922.80.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in business organisation services, particularly those able to serve central government functions effectively. SMEs with capabilities to deliver development services to NERC Centres are well-suited for such procurements, which involve limited competition and reduced thresholds, potentially increasing access for niche players. Engaging with UKRI’s requirements could enhance business portfolios and open future opportunities in similar government-affiliated initiatives.
