## Summary

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) has initiated and completed a contract titled "UKRI-4942 Renewal of ANSYS Technical Enhancements and Customer Support" through a direct award process, effective from the 30th of May 2025 to the 29th of May 2026. The contract was awarded to ANSYS UK Limited, a large-scale supplier based in Sheffield, for an amount of £117,900 (plus VAT). The scope of the contract includes the provision of software package licenses and support services across various UKRI-STFC sites like the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Daresbury Laboratory, and UK Astronomy Technology Centre. The direct award was justified due to specific technical reasons, making it impractical for another supplier to fulfill this requirement.

This contract offers opportunities for businesses engaged in software development and support services, particularly those specialising in engineering analysis and multiphysics solutions, by aligning with UKRI’s ongoing technological and innovation-focused operations. Businesses capable of providing comprehensive support and seamless integration into existing infrastructure would be well-suited to benefit from similar tender opportunities in the future. Companies that can develop strategic partnerships with large authorities such as UKRI might leverage such contracts to bolster their presence in the governmental sector and expand their service portfolios.
