## Summary

The UK Shared Business Services Limited (UK SBS) is conducting a tender for the "UKRI Identity & Access Management (IAM) Project" as part of the planning stage of procurement. This initiative aims to streamline and enhance the identity and access management processes for UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). Key dates include a pre-market engagement supplier day scheduled for 20th May 2021, with expressions of interest due by 12 PM on 18th May 2021. The project falls under the software package and information systems industry category, with a proposed funding range of £150,000 to £250,000 and the delivery location being the United Kingdom.

This procurement process provides a significant opportunity for businesses, especially those specialising in software development, identity management solutions, and IT services, to grow by participating in the development of a comprehensive IAM platform. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to engage, as UK SBS aims to explore various market offerings and innovative capabilities. Interested bidders should take note of the supplier day, which will facilitate valuable insights into the project requirements and procurement process.
