## Summary

The UK Research & Innovation has awarded a contract for Smart Data Research UK in the development consultancy services category. The contract, worth £35,000 GBP, was awarded without prior publication following a negotiated procedure. The contract period is from 18th October 2023 to 1st November 2023. The procurement stage is complete, and the tender period ended on 19th September 2023. The organisation is based in Swindon, South West, United Kingdom.

This procurement process, while now completed, could have provided growth opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the services industry with expertise in digital research infrastructure. The opportunity was not open for competition but awarded through a negotiated procedure. Businesses with a focus on smart data technologies could have been well-suited to potentially compete for this contract had it been an open competition, given the nature of the requirement. The contract's relatively short duration from October to November 2023 indicates an immediate project need for the chosen supplier.
