## Summary

UK Research and Innovation procured a mediator pool as a professional service to support mediation and conflict-resolution requirements. The service is classified under human resources management consultancy services (CPV 79414000). Delivery covers the United Kingdom. UKRI is the buying organisation, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement as its shared service provider. The requirement is therefore relevant to businesses providing professional mediation, dispute resolution and related consultancy services for a public-sector research and innovation organisation. Suppliers with the ability to provide a pool of suitable mediators, manage assignments and support UK-wide delivery would be aligned with the stated requirement.

This procurement has been completed following a below-threshold limited competition and competitive quotation procedure; it was not a call for competition. The single lot was completed and the contract was awarded to Conflict Management Plus Ltd trading as CMP Resolutions. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 4 August 2026 to 31 August 2026. Its value is £100,000 excluding VAT and £120,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement information identifies services as the category and the requirement as a mediator pool. The evaluation basis was the competitive quotation process used within the limited competition.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from UKRI for a managed pool of mediators rather than a single one-off mediation assignment. Competitors would need credible mediation and conflict-resolution expertise, the ability to provide suitably qualified practitioners, and sufficient organisational capacity to coordinate a pool and allocate resources across the United Kingdom. Experience in human resources management consultancy or closely related public-sector advisory services would be relevant to demonstrating capability. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller business rather than only a large national consultancy. Firms with robust quality assurance, practitioner management, responsive scheduling and experience supporting complex organisational disputes would be well placed when this buyer next tests the same need.
