Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for a training workshop, under the title "CSP26714 - Training workshop," has been completed by UK Research and Innovation, a central government public authority located in Swindon, United Kingdom. This procurement was carried out without competition due to technical reasons, such that only a particular supplier could deliver the required services. The process involved UK Shared Business Services Ltd as the procuring entity, with Psychological Consultancy Limited being the contracted supplier. The contract ran from 7th July 2026 to 24th July 2026, with a total gross value of £13,200. The method used was direct procurement below the threshold, with the process having been concluded by 3rd August 2026.

This tender could provide significant opportunities for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) given its value and the focus on training services, as classified under CPV code 80500000. Businesses specialising in providing training workshops or management consultancy services would find such a contract an ideal growth opportunity, especially if they can provide niche, tailored training solutions. Although this specific instance did not involve an open competition, understanding the technical specifications and the nature of single-supplier requirements may equip businesses to identify similar future tenders where their unique expertise could be the deciding factor.
