UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) bought a digital asset management system to create and maintain a central library of approved images, videos, GIFs and PDF reports. The system is intended to support consistent branding and help staff find and access approved content quickly. The requirement also covers workflows for commissioning and managing digital assets, with access controlled by user roles. The supplier is to provide a single point of contact, agreed response-time service levels and the ability to export asset metadata, supporting portability and possible migration to another system. This is content management software for digital assets, serving UKRI’s organisation-wide needs. UKRI is the buyer; delivery locations are not stated in the procurement information.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. UKRI made a direct award below the relevant threshold without competition. Bright Interactive Ltd was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 18 September 2026 and runs from 29 September 2026 to 28 September 2027, with one optional 12-month extension, potentially taking it to 29 September 2028. The contract value is £14,028.45 excluding VAT (£16,834.14 including VAT). The process comprised one lot. The published information gives no award date or evaluation criteria, so there is no stated competitive scoring basis to report; the supplier was selected through the direct-award route.

For suppliers tracking UKRI’s digital content needs, this award shows demand for a managed library that brings images, video, GIFs and PDF reports together with controlled access and consistent branding. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to demonstrate a practical digital asset management platform, efficient commissioning and asset-management workflows, role-based permissions, and straightforward search and retrieval for staff. Service delivery matters alongside the software: UKRI required a single point of contact and agreed response-time service levels. The ability to export asset metadata is also important, since it supports data portability and migration rather than locking content into one platform. The award went to an SME through a below-threshold direct award without competition, so suppliers should note the route used as well as the relatively focused system and support requirement.
