Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation commissioned project-supervision services other than construction work for project 10203657. The requirement is classified as project-supervision services and falls within the services category. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The work is relevant to businesses that provide project oversight, coordination, monitoring and related management support for publicly funded research and innovation activity. It is a focused professional-services requirement rather than construction delivery, so suppliers should have the ability to supervise project activity, track progress and support the buyer’s management of project outcomes. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist consultancies and independent project-management providers as well as larger firms.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 6 August 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to Joss Newberry on 17 August 2026 for £5,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the purchasing route established for the dynamic purchasing system. This outcome shows that the buyer used an established supplier-selection mechanism to appoint a provider for a defined project-supervision requirement, rather than running an open competition for all suppliers. The award value and contract period apply to this single requirement.

This award is useful market evidence for small and medium-sized project-management businesses, independent consultants and specialist consultancies serving UK public-sector research and innovation organisations. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate practical project-supervision capability, including structured oversight, progress monitoring, coordination with stakeholders and reliable reporting to the buyer. The successful supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large professional-services organisation. Suppliers building a comparable public-sector offering should understand dynamic purchasing systems and call-off competitions, because this buyer used that route to appoint its provider. Relevant experience supervising projects, managing delivery risks and maintaining clear governance records would help establish credibility when similar work is considered again.
