## Summary

UK Research and Innovation has concluded a contract titled "PS25066 - Temporary Administration Services for Innovate UK Loans," under the industry category of administration services. The procurement, led by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, was for temporary administration and legal support services for Innovate UK Loans in cases of company distress or default. The process was initiated as a limited competition procurement exercise, and the contract was awarded on 26th March 2025 to Menzies LLP. The contract, valued at £50,000 gross, will run from 26th March 2025 until 31st July 2025, and it is expected to require rapid appointment capabilities due to the unpredictable nature of the work involved.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in temporary administration and legal services, particularly those capable of providing swift response times under pressure. Companies with experience in handling corporate distress situations and offering tailored legal solutions would find this contract especially relevant. As the requirement involves a range of potential administrative and legal tasks, including appointing administrators and solicitors, firms with a broad skill set in these areas would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts.
