## Summary

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), specifically the Science and Technology Facilities Council, has completed a procurement process under the tender ID BIP889634763 for specialist consultancy services related to the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC). The contract, valued at £50,000, was awarded on 12 September 2024 to Tom Murdoch Consulting, a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Cheltenham. The procurement falls under the category of research and development services and consultancy, with the award indicating the contract period from 13 September 2024 to 31 August 2025. The consultancy services are to be delivered in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for consultancy firms specialising in research and development services within the science and technology sectors. As the project involves niche expertise, companies with a strong background in quantum computing and related consultancy services stand to benefit the most. Additionally, as the contract was awarded to an SME, it signifies a potential opening for other small to medium-sized enterprises with relevant expertise in future related tenders by UKRI and similar organisations.
