## Summary

UK Research and Innovation, through UK Shared Business Services Ltd, procured three one-year subscription licences for the mnAI Analysis Platform. The service enables Innovate UK to analyse business-level diversity and gender representation across its portfolio of innovative businesses. This is a software and business intelligence service rather than a works or physical supply requirement. The relevant capability is providing a specialist analytics platform that can handle portfolio-level business data and produce insight into diversity and gender representation. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The requirement sits within business intelligence software development services, and is aimed at supporting evidence-based analysis of innovative businesses funded or supported through the Innovate UK portfolio.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to mnAI Data Solutions Ltd. The contract was awarded on 10 August 2026, signed on the same date, and runs from 14 August 2026 to 10 August 2027. Its value is £14,999 including and excluding tax, in a single completed lot. UK Research and Innovation used a below-threshold direct award without competition because it considered that only one supplier could provide the requirement for technical reasons. The award is active and the contract is active. The stated outcome is three one-year subscriptions to the mnAI Analysis Platform, evaluated through the buyer’s technical justification for proceeding without competition rather than through competing bids.

This procurement indicates demand from UK Research and Innovation for focused analytical tools that help public innovation programmes understand diversity and gender representation among supported businesses. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need a functioning business intelligence platform, relevant software and data-analysis expertise, and the ability to turn portfolio-level business information into reliable, usable insight. Experience working with public-sector or innovation-programme data would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where data quality, confidentiality and consistent reporting matter. The awarded supplier was an SME, suggesting that scale alone was not the defining feature of the chosen solution. The strongest alternatives would be specialist providers able to demonstrate a distinct technical capability and a clear fit with Innovate UK’s analytical purpose.
