Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for work other than construction, under the project identified as 83040939. The requirement is a services contract delivered in the United Kingdom. The work is intended to provide supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction activity itself. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation, based in Swindon, England. This is a focused professional-services requirement for a supplier able to oversee project activity, coordinate delivery and provide supervision appropriate to the buyer’s research and innovation environment. It may suit organisations specialising in project monitoring, project controls, programme support or related supervisory services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 16 June 2026 at 5pm, and the award decision was made on 22 June 2026. Helix Projects Limited was awarded the contract for £6,245. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award is active and covers the single stated requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The process was for services, with the award based on the requirements and evaluation arrangements of the dynamic purchasing system call-off.

This award demonstrates that UK Research & Innovation buys specialist project-supervision capability through its dynamic purchasing system, including support for non-construction project delivery. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of supervising or monitoring projects, managing delivery information, identifying issues and maintaining clear oversight for a public-sector buyer. Evidence of reliable reporting, structured project controls and the ability to work with stakeholders would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement is small in scale and was awarded to an SME, while the procurement was marked as suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. Relevant VCSEs and specialist project-management firms should therefore consider how their delivery record and governance arrangements compare.
