## Summary

The procurement process involves UK Shared Business Services Limited as the contracting authority, which has completed a tender titled "Creation of a Publicly Available Standard for Responsible Innovation (RI PAS)." This project falls under the industry category of content or data standardization and classification services, with a budget of £165,000. The tender was implemented as a single tender action, following a direct procurement method. While the tender period ended on 18 December 2018, the contract period spans from 19 December 2018 to 30 June 2019, and the project is based in the South West region of England.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses focused on responsible innovation, particularly those with expertise in developing standards or guidelines for emerging technologies. Companies specialising in consultancy services, standardisation, or related fields may find this contract aligned with their capabilities. The unique nature of the project, which aims to establish a standard that currently does not exist, indicates a demand for innovative solutions and support from SMEs that can demonstrate their capacity for contributing to the advancement of responsible practices in technology.

## Notice

This is an award notice for a Single Sourcing Action. Creation of a Publicly Available Standard for Responsible Innovation (RI PAS). No such standard currently exists anywhere in the world, so far as we know, which means that companies who want to innovate in a responsible way have no single point of guidance to turn to. This is a particular problem in the case of disruptive emerging technologies, where provision to the market often runs ahead of the regulatory or legislative process. This project will produce such a document and make it available to innovators. We will track its use and, depending upon the value it adds to companies (and society in practice), will accelerate the path to full BS Standard, or ISO Standard.
