## Summary

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) procured online technical training services for its digital, data and technology requirement. The procurement was managed by UK Shared Business Services Ltd, UKRI’s shared service provider. The service was delivered in the United Kingdom. The published description identifies the requirement only as online training; it does not describe course topics, learner numbers or a more detailed programme, so the confirmed scope is online delivery of technical training rather than a particular subject or training format.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to RITTAL LIMITED through a direct award without competition, described as below-threshold and on the basis that there were no reasonable alternatives. UKRI selected the supplier; the procurement data does not state a separate scoring or evaluation basis. The single lot was awarded. The contract was signed on 16 October 2026 and runs from 16 October 2026 to 15 October 2027. Its value is £11,025 excluding VAT (£13,230 including VAT).

This award shows UKRI has bought online technical training through a direct, non-competitive route, with a large supplier selected. A supplier seeking to be credible when this requirement returns would need to offer online technical training that meets UKRI’s specific need and can be presented as having no reasonable alternative under the route used here. The available description does not identify the training subject, delivery platform, learner cohort or required qualifications, so the clear commercial signal is the buyer’s demand for online technical training, rather than a defined specialist curriculum. UKRI is the relevant buyer, with procurement handled by UK Shared Business Services Ltd.
