## Summary

The UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), a public authority in the central government, has completed a procurement process for a security assessment for the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC). The contract, identified as UKRI-5442, was awarded under a direct procurement method without competition, aimed at acquiring security services within the UK. The main procurement category is services, with the award finalised on 10th December 2025. The contract is valued at £24,800 (net), with work scheduled to commence on 15th December 2025 and conclude by 1st February 2026. The project is located in the UK’s South East region, specifically in the region designated as UKJ14.

This procurement offers a significant business opportunity in the security services industry, particularly for firms with expertise in high-tech and secure environments like quantum computing facilities. As the procurement was below the competition threshold, it demonstrates opportunities for businesses that specialise in niche services to engage with high-stakes public-sector projects directly. Firms with established credentials in security solution assessments and those who can efficiently deliver within tight timeframes would be well-suited for such opportunities in future procurements.
