## Summary

UK Research and Innovation is procuring psychometric testing services, including the provision of psychology testing devices associated with those services. The requirement is managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd as the shared service provider for UK Research and Innovation. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement is relevant to businesses that provide psychometric assessment, psychological testing, or associated testing equipment and support. The stated requirement is for UK Research and Innovation’s organisational needs, rather than a general purchase of unrelated medical or laboratory equipment. The selected supplier is Nick Hastings Consulting Ltd, an SME based in Berkhamsted, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist smaller consultancy or provider rather than only by a large national contractor.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a direct below-threshold procedure without competition because the buyer states that only a particular supplier can provide the required services. Nick Hastings Consulting Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and runs from 18 September 2026 to 9 October 2026. Its value is £13,500 excluding VAT, or £16,200 including VAT. The contract is active. The published information identifies the requirement and the direct-award rationale, rather than a competitive scoring model or separate quality and price weightings. UK Research and Innovation is the buyer, with UK Shared Business Services Ltd managing the procurement process.

For a future requirement from this buyer, credible competitors would need to provide psychometric testing services and the associated psychology testing devices needed to deliver them. The award shows demand for a specialist provider able to supply the complete requirement, rather than a business offering only generic consultancy or standalone equipment. A strong proposition would therefore combine relevant psychometric assessment capability with access to suitable testing tools and the ability to support delivery across the United Kingdom. Smaller specialist firms may be well placed, as the selected supplier is recorded as an SME. Businesses monitoring this buyer should be able to demonstrate that their testing approach, equipment and service delivery are dependable and suitable for UK Research and Innovation’s needs.
