## Summary

The procurement process titled "UKRI-5472: Health Innovation Pipeline Audit" was initiated by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), located in Swindon, Wiltshire. This process falls under the industry category of Portfolio Management Services and targeted at the healthcare sector. The contract was awarded through a direct procurement method to Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation due to technical reasons, as they are the only body positioned to conduct the requisite portfolio audit. The contract commenced on 8th January 2026 and was intended to conclude by 31st March 2026, but it was terminated as of 2nd June 2026. The estimated value of the contract was £360,000 gross, with a net value of £300,000.

This tender presented a significant opportunity for specialists in portfolio management and healthcare innovation sectors to engage with a central government authority, UKRI. The direct award procurement method emphasized the need for technical expertise and existing relationships within the NHS's network. Businesses that can offer unique insights or services in health innovation, particularly with a focus on auditing and review processes, would be well-suited to similar opportunities. While this contract is concluded, understanding the procurement requirements and methodologies used by UKRI could provide a competitive edge in future tenders within the public sector.
