## Summary

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) purchased a software solution for COSHH risk management, covering the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health requirement. The procurement is categorised as software and information systems (CPV 48000000). UKRI is the buyer, with procurement managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd. The listed delivery location is the United Kingdom. The requirement was structured as one lot and bought as goods. The published description identifies the need as a software solution but does not set out specific modules or functionality, so the central business fit is providing software for COSHH risk management to a central government research organisation.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly to ECOONLINE UK LIMITED, an SME. UKRI used a below-threshold procedure without competition, stating that technical reasons left only one supplier able to provide the requirement and that there were no reasonable alternatives. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 28 September 2027. Its value is £17,331.37 excluding VAT and £20,797.64 including VAT. The procurement comprised one lot, which is complete. No evaluation criteria are recorded; the stated basis for selecting the supplier was the claimed absence of competition for technical reasons.

For suppliers competing for comparable future work with UKRI, this award shows a defined demand for COSHH risk-management software, procured as a software product rather than described as a wider service or works contract. A credible competitor would need to show that its solution meets the organisation’s COSHH software requirement and can be supplied as a practical alternative to the incumbent product. The buyer’s stated rationale for this award makes technical differentiation and evidence of viable alternatives particularly relevant: suppliers should be able to demonstrate comparable functionality and explain why their product is a reasonable substitute. The selected provider is an SME, indicating that this requirement was fulfilled by a supplier of that scale. The award provides evidence of a modest, single-lot software requirement within UKRI.»}
