UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation commissioned a Graduate Programme Insights Discovery Workshop. The requirement is a training service intended to support participants in its graduate programme through an Insights Discovery workshop. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement for UK Research and Innovation as the shared service provider. The contract concerns a single service requirement rather than a set of separately described work packages. It is relevant to training providers, organisational development specialists and firms experienced in delivering Insights Discovery workshops for graduate or early-career programmes. Suppliers whose work is limited to goods, construction or unrelated professional services are unlikely to find this requirement relevant.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It followed a below-threshold limited competition, rather than an open competition, and covered one lot. CORTEX-TRAINING LTD was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 9 July 2026 and runs from 20 July to 31 August 2026. Its value is £26,585 excluding VAT, or £31,902 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition exercise used by UK Research and Innovation and UK Shared Business Services Ltd. The award covers training services for the Graduate Programme Insights Discovery Workshop, with delivery across the United Kingdom.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for a focused training intervention within a graduate programme, delivered through an Insights Discovery workshop. A supplier competing for similar work would need a credible capability in training delivery, workshop facilitation and the application of Insights Discovery to graduate or early-career participants. Relevant experience in designing or delivering structured learning for organisational development programmes would strengthen its position. The requirement is a relatively contained specialist service, so providers able to deploy appropriate facilitators and deliver a defined workshop rather than large-scale general training may be well placed. CORTEX-TRAINING LTD is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this type of work can suit an SME-scale training provider.
