UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured an asset management software licence for an EAM VARM replication solution. The requirement covers system management software and information systems, supporting UKRI’s asset management activities. It is a goods procurement delivered across the United Kingdom. The buyer is UKRI, the public body responsible for funding and coordinating research and innovation in the UK. The selected supplier, Cohesive UK Group Limited, is a London-based SME. The requirement is therefore relevant to software publishers, resellers and technology providers with products or services for enterprise asset management, system management and replication solutions, particularly those able to support a public-sector organisation operating across the UK.

This procurement has been completed and awarded, with one supplier selected for the single lot. UKRI used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. Cohesive UK Group Limited was awarded the contract, which was signed on 9 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 April 2028. Its value is £39,968.07 excluding VAT, or £47,961.68 including VAT. The contract is active and covers the asset management software licence and EAM VARM replication solution. The award provides a clear example of UKRI procuring this type of software through a below-threshold, non-competitive route, rather than through an open tender or multi-supplier competition.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for asset management software supporting EAM VARM replication within UKRI. Relevant competitors would need a credible enterprise asset management or system management proposition, with software capable of supporting replication and information-system operations. Software publishers, specialist resellers and implementation partners serving public-sector or research organisations are the closest fit. The selected supplier’s SME status indicates that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large systems integrator. Businesses tracking UKRI should use this procurement as evidence of demand for compact, specialist software licensing and related technical capability in asset management.
