## Summary

UK Research and Innovation bought team coaching services for Innovate UK. The requirement covers coaching sessions intended to support teams, rather than goods, construction or a wider consultancy programme. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement as UKRI’s shared service provider. The contracted activity is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The service falls within coaching services (CPV 79998000). The buyer is a central government public authority, so suppliers with experience providing structured team coaching to public bodies, research organisations or innovation-focused teams may find this requirement relevant. The procurement concerns one service lot and is focused specifically on team coaching rather than general training, recruitment, facilities management or other business support services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UKRI used a below-threshold direct award without competition, stating that competition was absent for technical reasons. AZZUR LIMITED was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026, with a contract period from 28 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £10,000 excluding VAT and £12,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement had one completed lot. This was a contract-details outcome rather than a call for competition, so the award records the buyer’s selected supplier, the direct-award route and the agreed service and financial terms.

This award is useful market evidence for suppliers of team coaching services targeting UKRI and Innovate UK. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide team coaching sessions suited to the buyer’s teams and demonstrate a technical proposition strong enough to justify selection where specialist capability matters. The chosen supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only a large consultancy. Relevant providers should be able to explain their coaching approach, show how sessions support team effectiveness and provide evidence of delivering comparable work for organisations with research, innovation or public-sector responsibilities. The buyer’s use of a direct, technically justified route also makes specialist positioning important.
