UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) procured modular leadership team development training services for its teams. The requirement is for team development training sessions, delivered across the United Kingdom. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement for UKRI as the procuring entity and shared service provider. The service sits within the training services category. The procurement covered one requirement rather than separate service lots, and was intended to support leadership and team development within a central government research and innovation organisation. This is relevant to providers of structured leadership development, team effectiveness, organisational development and related professional training services able to deliver sessions for UKRI teams nationally.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. META (UK) LIMITED was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 20 August 2026, runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2027, and is valued at £26,995 excluding VAT, or £32,394 including VAT. The award is active and relates to the single completed requirement. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open tender. The published description identifies the requirement as a contract conclusion, not a call for competition. The award date is not separately stated, but the contract was signed before the service period began.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for modular leadership and team development training within UKRI, delivered through a below-threshold limited competition. Competitors seeking similar work should be able to design and deliver practical training sessions for leadership teams, with a modular structure that can support different development needs. Relevant providers are likely to be established training, leadership development or organisational development businesses, including SMEs: the appointed supplier is an SME. Credibility will depend on showing a clear understanding of team development, the ability to work with a public research organisation and capacity to deliver the required sessions across the United Kingdom. Experience of comparable leadership or team effectiveness programmes would strengthen a future response.
