Tender description
Procurement of a defined package of industry representation, convening and engagement services from UKQuantum for FY2026/27. The requirement is for an independent industry body to act on behalf of the UK quantum sector where civil servants cannot appropriately represent commercial interests, convene companies as their representative body, or broker industry relationships. The services will: (1) build an evidenced investment and partnership pipeline; (2) strengthen UK industry representation in priority countries; (3) support targeted multilateral activity where sector representation is needed; and (4) accelerate adoption by convening quantum suppliers and end users in defence, health, finance and energy. Deliverables will include agreed engagement plans, targeted stakeholder engagement, records of opportunities and follow-up, briefings or industry input where requested, structured sector convening, and concise outcome reports. The requirement excludes general organisational running costs and will be managed against agreed outputs. ## Contract award Title: PS26312 - UKQuantum industry representation and engagement services 2026/27
