Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by UK Research & Innovation, involved a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system for project supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV code 79421100. The process has been completed, and the award was activated on 21 January 2026, following the tender period that ended on 15 January 2026. The contract is valued at £4,925 and spans from 1 February 2026 to 31 August 2026. The services are to be provided within the United Kingdom, with UK Research & Innovation based in Swindon, England, acting as the buyer.

This tender provides an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate in a government contract, demonstrating expertise in project supervision services. The procurement, however, was completed using a pre-existing dynamic purchasing system, which generally streamlines the process for approved suppliers like Spark Assessment Services Limited—awarded the contract—based in Oxfordshire. Such contracts can lead to significant business growth by elevating company profiles and providing essential experience in public sector engagements, particularly suiting businesses equipped to deliver specialised consultancy services within the specified budget and timeframe.
