UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation commissioned a consultancy review of training provision and gaps relating to the development and application of alternative methods in safety assessment. The requirement is classified as environmental issues consultancy services and falls within the broader professional services market for organisations that can assess specialist training and development needs. The work is for UKRI, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement process on its behalf. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement covered one completed requirement, rather than separate service packages, and concerns analysis of existing provision, identification of development gaps and consideration of alternative approaches to safety assessment. It is relevant to consultancies working across environmental, scientific, regulatory, training or safety-assessment disciplines.

This procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The tender was marked complete and the contract was awarded to YORDAS LIMITED. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and runs from 25 August 2026 to 25 November 2026. Its value is £16,480 excluding VAT, or £19,776 including VAT. The requirement was handled as a single completed lot. The published information describes the route as a limited competition procurement exercise; it does not set out a separate award scoring basis. This is a contract details outcome rather than an invitation to compete, so the procurement has concluded and the selected supplier is already in place for the stated delivery period.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the award signals demand from UKRI for focused consultancy on training provision, capability gaps and the development and application of alternative methods in safety assessment. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate the ability to review existing training and development arrangements, identify gaps systematically and relate those findings to practical safety-assessment methods. Relevant experience in environmental or scientific consultancy, regulatory assessment, specialist training analysis and applied research would help establish fit. The successful route was a limited competition, indicating that concise evidence of relevant technical expertise and a clear understanding of the requirement would matter when competing for similar UKRI professional services work.
