    Brief

    This is a contract details notice, not a competitive call for proposals. UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has awarded a software license contract to a sole supplier due to an absence of viable competition. The procurement was concluded without competition because only one particular supplier could provide the specific goods, services, or works required to meet UKRI's technical requirements. This notice is issued for transparency and record-keeping purposes.
