## Summary

The recent procurement process conducted by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) pertains to the "UKRI-6243 High Resolution Modelling Framework Services" contract. This initiative falls within the services industry category, specifically relating to software-related services, and targets suppliers across the United Kingdom. UKRI, a central government public authority located in Swindon, Wiltshire, has employed a direct award method due to technical reasons, with the procurement now at the award stage as of 28 July 2026. The anticipated contract period is set to span from 11 August 2026 to 30 September 2029. The main point of contact is via email at nercprocurement@ukri.org, and the contract's value is estimated at £244,571.86.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in high-resolution modelling frameworks, particularly those with a strong focus on software-related services. Suitable contenders include large and technically capable suppliers, and the National Oceanography Centre, a large-scale organisation based in Southampton, has been named the supplier for this contract. Businesses capable of offering unique and specialised technical solutions would thrive in opportunities similar to this, especially given the direct award due to single-supplier technical reasons. With the contract valued above £200,000, it can significantly boost the profile and operations of businesses involved. The framework services will be implemented across the UK, potentially enhancing the supplier's exposure and presence in public sector project delivery.
