Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation has concluded the procurement process titled "ITT for project 83040939", focusing on project-supervision services other than for construction work. The buying organisation, based in Swindon, England, has utilised a selective procurement method via a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender process reached the award stage on 22nd June 2026, with Helix Projects Limited, a supplier based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, being awarded the contract. The contract is valued at £6,245 and is set to run from 1st August 2026 to 31st July 2029. Notably, this tender was deemed suitable for VCSE organisations, while not specifically targeting SMEs.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in project-supervision services to engage with a reputable government body, UK Research & Innovation, and gain exposure through high-profile projects. Companies that are part of dynamic purchasing systems will find this contract type particularly accessible. Organisations similar to VCSEs, possibly offering niche or specialised oversight services, should find this contract particularly advantageous for leveraging their expertise and enhancing growth. The structured nature of the procurement method suggests a competitive yet systematic approach, providing potential bidders with clarity and framework in which to operate.
