Brief Description of Requirement

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) requires the ability to keep abreast of often fast-paced political developments, and to have access to information and intelligence on crucial policymakers and political stakeholders. This is critical to central UKRI functions such as:

  • accountability to Parliament and Government
  • engagement with policymakers and Parliamentary stakeholders.

The successful supplier will provide an easy-to-use service that can be tailored to all UKRI Councils and the interests of individual teams. It is expected that the service would be made available to all across UKRI who maintain a public affairs or parliamentary-facing role.

Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the Supplier Attachments tab within the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal.
