UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured a Digital Forms Builder service. The requirement covers the provision of a digital platform or service for creating and managing forms, within the wider information technology services category, including software development, internet and support services. The work is for UK Research and Innovation, a central government public authority, with procurement managed through UK Shared Business Services Limited as its shared service provider. Delivery is identified across the United Kingdom. The procurement was arranged as a single service requirement rather than separate work packages. This opportunity is therefore relevant to suppliers providing digital form-building technology, associated software services, implementation support, hosting or technical support for a public sector research and innovation organisation.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Govforms Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition procedure under one lot. The contract was signed on 8 December 2025 and ran from 9 December 2025 to 31 March 2026. Its value was £103,758.96 excluding VAT, or £124,510.75 including VAT. The award is recorded as active and the contract is also recorded as active. Evaluation was conducted through the limited competition exercise; the published information identifies the requirement as the provision of a Digital Forms Builder. This outcome shows the buyer used a focused, below-threshold route for a defined digital service requirement rather than an open, multi-lot competition.

For a supplier that did not win, this procurement is a clear example of UK Research and Innovation buying a defined digital forms capability through a focused, below-threshold competition. A credible future competitor would need a product or service that supports digital form creation and management, together with the software development, internet and technical support capability needed to operate it reliably. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate delivery across the United Kingdom and understand the needs of a central government research organisation. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement could be delivered by a smaller specialist technology business rather than only by a large systems integrator. Relevant experience should centre on practical digital forms and supporting IT services.
