Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement is a services contract supporting oversight and supervision of a project, rather than construction itself. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon, England. The procurement is categorised as professional project-supervision support and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is not identified as suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The awarded supplier, Spark Assessment Services Limited, is an SME based in Oxfordshire, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist services business rather than only by a large national contractor.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The submission deadline was 15 June 2026 at 5pm. UK Research & Innovation awarded the contract to Spark Assessment Services Limited on 2 July 2026 for £6,930 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. The procurement covers one services requirement delivered in the United Kingdom. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. It does not form part of an open bidding opportunity: the selected supplier has already been appointed for the stated contract period.

For businesses that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of UK Research & Innovation buying project-supervision services through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible future supplier would need to provide specialist project oversight rather than construction delivery, understand the needs of a public research and innovation organisation, and operate effectively as a small or medium-sized business if seeking a similar opportunity. The modest contract scale indicates a focused assignment suitable for a specialist consultancy or assessment provider, rather than a major works contractor. Businesses with demonstrable project-supervision capability, public-sector delivery discipline and the capacity to manage a defined service requirement would be the closest comparators when this buyer next sources the same type of support.
