Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation commissioned project supervision services, classified as services other than construction project supervision (CPV 79421100). The procurement is described only as an invitation to tender for Project 10205834, so the specific project tasks and intended outcomes are not detailed. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom, with the buyer based in Swindon, England. The selected supplier, Frith & Frost Ltd, is based in Norfolk. This requirement concerns professional project oversight rather than construction works themselves, and may be relevant to firms providing project supervision or management services to research and innovation organisations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Frith & Frost Ltd. The award was made on 7 August 2026 for £2,920. It was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 23 July 2026 at 5pm. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information does not describe evaluation criteria beyond the procurement's classification as a selective call-off; no separate scoring basis is reported. The award is recorded as active, with no cancellation or termination reported.

This award demonstrates UK Research & Innovation's demand for project supervision services through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, and shows that a small supplier, Frith & Frost Ltd, was selected for this requirement. Firms seeking to compete for comparable work with this buyer would need credible project oversight capability and the ability to deliver the specific supervision tasks required by research and innovation projects. The contract's modest scale suggests that suppliers able to undertake a focused assignment, rather than only large programmes, may be relevant. Experience working with public-sector or research-sector clients could help establish credibility, but no particular accreditation, staffing level, technical standard or prior experience threshold is stated in the available procurement details.
