Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for work delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement is for overseeing and managing a project rather than carrying out construction work, covering the professional supervision activity needed to support delivery. This is a services contract bought by UK Research & Innovation, a national research and innovation organisation. The procurement is relevant to consultancies and professional services businesses that provide project supervision, project management oversight or related coordination services. It is particularly aligned with smaller suppliers, as the requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The work is UK-wide rather than tied to a named town, city or specific delivery site.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids were due by 1 July 2026 at 5pm. Round Tower Consulting Limited was awarded the contract on 10 October 2026 for £3,990, with the contract running from 1 September 2026 to 30 April 2028. The award was active when recorded. Evaluation was conducted through the dynamic purchasing system call-off route. The procurement had a single requirement for project-supervision services and was treated as a services contract. UK Research & Innovation was the buyer. The award outcome shows the purchasing route, selected supplier and contract scale for this requirement.

This award provides a useful benchmark for consultancies competing for similar project-supervision work with UK Research & Innovation. A credible competitor would need to show that it can supervise and coordinate project delivery in a research and innovation environment, provide suitably experienced project-management personnel, and manage the reporting, monitoring and stakeholder coordination expected of professional oversight services. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, and the selected supplier was itself an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist consultancy can meet the buyer’s expectations without needing the scale of a major professional services firm. Businesses already able to operate through a dynamic purchasing system would be well placed to pursue comparable requirements from this buyer.
