## Summary

UK Research and Innovation has concluded a procurement process for a software licence and service contract, with the status marked as complete. The procurement process was a direct method, executed without competition due to technical reasons, notably the absence of viable competitors able to fulfil the requirement. This was facilitated by UK Shared Business Services Ltd in Swindon, with the supplier being Atempo Newco from Massy, France. The contract, which spans from 20th March 2026 to 19th March 2027, is valued at £12,665.62, grossing £15,198.74 in GBP. Key industry categories include Software Packages and Information Systems, alongside IT services such as consulting and software development.

This tender presents business growth opportunities mainly for suppliers specialising in niche software solutions, particularly those capable of fulfilling specific technical requirements that other competitors cannot meet. While this specific tender is completed, similar opportunities may arise for businesses adept in providing IT services related to software development and consulting. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) well-versed in these areas, especially those that can demonstrate unique technical expertise, may find such direct procurement methods advantageous for securing contracts without competition.
