## Summary

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) bought a subscription to Centrik software, a software package and information system, through UK Shared Business Services Ltd, its shared service provider. The purchase is for software access rather than a wider implementation or support service. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom; no specific site is identified. UKRI is the buying organisation and the subscription serves its requirement for Centrik software. This is a single-lot purchase. The stated reason for choosing this route was that UKRI required the subscription and competition was absent for technical reasons. The supplier selected was TrustFlight Limited, a UK-based small and medium-sized enterprise.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. UKRI used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold, citing an absence of competition for technical reasons. TrustFlight Limited was selected as supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026 and runs from 8 July 2026 to 7 July 2027. Its value is £21,913.32 excluding VAT and £26,295.98 including VAT. The published information does not describe a separate evaluation or award-scoring basis; the recorded rationale for the direct award is the technical absence of competition. This is the outcome of the purchase, not an opportunity to submit a bid.

This award shows UKRI buys a Centrik software subscription as a discrete, single-lot requirement, rather than as part of a broad software or systems procurement. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide the Centrik subscription UKRI needs and demonstrate that it can meet any technical conditions that make alternatives unsuitable. The buyer’s stated justification rested on a lack of competition for technical reasons, so suppliers offering merely similar software may not be well placed unless they can establish technical equivalence or a viable route to the required product. The selected supplier was a small and medium-sized enterprise, showing that delivery at this scale was within the capacity of an SME.
