## Summary

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) bought a source code repository and collaboration tool, classified as software and information systems. The requirement is for a platform supporting the storage and management of source code and collaboration around software development. UK Shared Business Services Ltd managed the procurement on UKRI’s behalf. The delivery location is stated as the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is identified. The contract concerns a single lot and one software requirement, rather than a broad range of IT services or equipment. Suppliers whose offer centres on source-code repository software and associated collaboration functionality are the closest fit. The procurement was concluded without competition on technical grounds, with the buyer stating that only a particular supplier could provide what was required.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Eficode UK Limited. UKRI used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, citing the absence of competition for technical reasons and that only a particular supplier could meet the requirement. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and runs from 16 November 2026 to 23 August 2027. Its value is £11,392.22 excluding VAT, or £13,670.66 including VAT. The award covers the single lot for the source code repository and collaboration tool. The award information identifies Eficode UK Limited as the supplier; no separate award date or evaluation scoring criteria are recorded. The stated basis for selecting the supplier was technical exclusivity, rather than a competitive comparison of bids.

For suppliers tracking UKRI’s software needs, this award demonstrates demand for a source-code repository and collaboration tool, procured as a discrete software requirement through a direct award based on technical exclusivity. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show that its platform meets UKRI’s technical needs and can provide the required repository and collaboration functions. The buyer’s stated rationale makes technical fit and the ability to establish whether alternatives can meet the requirement particularly relevant; a general software offer alone would not address that rationale. The successful supplier was a large company, but the procurement data does not set out particular staffing, accreditation, integration, security or delivery requirements, so these should not be assumed as selection conditions.
