## Summary

The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has concluded the procurement process for the contract titled "GSS25270 - Accommodation booking" in the services industry category. The public procurement process was limited competition, primarily due to it being below the threshold, and involved UK Shared Business Services Ltd as the procuring entity. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract awarded on 30 March 2025. The contract covers accommodation room bookings with the University of Edinburgh selected as the supplier. The value of the contract is £29,200.03, with a gross amount of £35,040.04, scheduled to run from 31 March 2025 to 20 April 2025. The contractual details were published on 7 April 2025.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses in the accommodation and hospitality sector, especially those with capabilities to provide hotel accommodation services on a large scale. Although the tender has been awarded to a large-scale supplier, smaller businesses can view such contracts as benchmarks to understand procurement requirements and scale up their offerings to compete in future tenders. This process demonstrates a focused opportunity for companies offering similar services to at least be considered for limited competition tenders below certain financial thresholds, potentially opening the door for growth and increased visibility in the public sector market.
