UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation commissioned a facilitation service for the Natural Environment Research Council’s atmospheric science forward-look round-table workshops. The requirement covers a facilitation team to plan and run workshop meetings, together with associated materials and mileage supplied to UKRI. This is a professional workshop and seminar organisation service rather than a construction, equipment or research-delivery contract. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement on UKRI’s behalf as its shared service provider. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement was structured as a single service lot and was procured for UKRI’s atmospheric science planning activity. It would suit organisations that can provide experienced facilitators and the practical support needed to deliver collaborative, specialist workshops for a public research organisation.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 November 2026. The awarded supplier is THE COLLECTIVE FACILITATION LIMITED. The contract value is £11,000 excluding VAT and £13,200 including VAT. The service falls under seminar organisation services. The published outcome identifies an active award and an active contract. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition exercise, but the available outcome does not state the individual award criteria or their weighting. No separate award date is recorded; the signed contract date is the relevant recorded completion milestone.

This procurement shows UKRI’s demand for a small, specialist supplier able to facilitate structured round-table workshops in a scientific and public-sector setting. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a capable facilitation team, experience designing and running collaborative workshop meetings, and the organisational discipline to support a defined programme from preparation through delivery. Practical event support matters too: the selected service includes workshop materials and mileage, so suppliers should be able to manage those inputs reliably alongside facilitation. The award to an SME indicates that this scale of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large national events business. Relevant firms should monitor UKRI’s recurring needs around specialist engagement and forward-look workshops.
