## Summary

UK Research and Innovation procured software licences, classified as software packages and information systems. The requirement covers the supply of software licences for UKRI’s operations, with delivery in the United Kingdom. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement on UKRI’s behalf as its shared service provider. The selected supplier is Condens Insights GmbH, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Munich, Germany. The procurement is categorised as goods rather than consultancy, software development or other services. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to businesses that supply commercial software licensing and can provide the required products for use by a UK public research organisation.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Condens Insights GmbH without competition, using a below-threshold direct award. UKRI stated that technical reasons meant only this supplier could provide the required goods and services and that there were no reasonable alternatives. The award date was 10 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 22 October 2026 to 22 October 2027. Its value is EUR 12,000 gross. One lot was completed and awarded. The award and contract are active. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award justification rather than a competitive tender process.

This procurement is useful market evidence for software vendors targeting UK Research and Innovation and similar public research organisations. It shows demand for a defined software-licensing requirement at small-contract scale, procured through a below-threshold route. A credible future competitor would need to offer the specific software products required by UKRI, demonstrate that they meet its technical requirements, and show why their solution is not readily replaceable by reasonable alternatives if a direct award is being considered. Suppliers should also be prepared to provide licensing for use in the United Kingdom and to transact with a public-sector buyer through its shared-service procurement provider. Condens Insights GmbH’s SME status shows that this type of requirement can suit smaller specialist software businesses.
