## Summary

UK Research and Innovation has finalised a contract entitled "CSP26374 - Training" in the services industry category, primarily focusing on training sessions. This contract, awarded on 24th March 2026, was undertaken without competition due to technical reasons, involving direct procurement below the threshold. The procurement process was led by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, located alongside UK Research and Innovation in Swindon, while the supplier is Queen's University Belfast. The contract has an active status with a value of £24,000 in gross terms, running from 9th to 27th March 2026.

This procurement initiative presents significant growth prospects for businesses specialising in training services. Direct procurement methods generally favour organisations that possess unique technical capabilities or niche expertise, thus businesses in the education and training sectors that can offer specialised knowledge may find analogous opportunities advantageous. Although currently awarded, understanding the technical requisites and engaging in collaborations with the likes of UK Research & Information could pave the way for future involvement in similar contracts. Large-scale businesses or institutions that provide tailored educational solutions, such as Queen's University Belfast, are particularly well-suited to meet these demands.
