UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation bought a Nature unlimited jobs package from ONEFIX RECRUITMENT LTD. The requirement is a recruitment advertising service for promoting jobs through the Nature unlimited package. The work falls within advertising services and is intended to support UKRI’s recruitment activity. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. UKRI is the buying organisation, while UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement as its shared service provider. The contract concerns a single package rather than separate service lots. This opportunity is relevant to recruitment advertising businesses, job-board operators and suppliers able to provide targeted advertising packages for specialist or research-sector vacancies. It is not a general construction, goods supply or broad communications requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. UKRI used a below-threshold direct award without competition, stating that technical reasons meant only one particular supplier could provide the required services and that there were no reasonable alternatives. ONEFIX RECRUITMENT LTD was awarded the single lot. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 2 September 2026 to 2 September 2027. Its value is £11,847 excluding VAT, or £14,216.40 including VAT. The contract is active. The process was concluded without a competitive tender, so the award reflects a direct procurement route rather than bids evaluated against competing suppliers. No award evaluation criteria are stated.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award indicates that UKRI has a defined need for specialist recruitment advertising through the Nature unlimited jobs package. A credible competitor for any comparable future requirement would need to provide an established job advertising service, demonstrate access to the relevant specialist audience and show that it can deliver recruitment promotion across the United Kingdom. The stated technical rationale also indicates that the buyer valued a particular service capability and considered alternatives unsuitable. Suppliers should therefore be able to explain what makes their platform, audience reach or advertising package technically distinctive, and provide evidence of reliable delivery for research or similarly specialist organisations. ONEFIX RECRUITMENT LTD is recorded as an SME supplier.
