Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than for construction work (CPV 79421100). The requirement is for project oversight and supervision activity supporting UKRI’s work, rather than construction delivery itself. It is classified as a service procurement and the delivery location is the United Kingdom. UKRI is the buying organisation, based in Swindon, England. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to independent project-management specialists and smaller consultancies able to provide structured supervision services for a public research and innovation organisation. The named requirement is “ITT for project 10198109”, indicating a project-specific assignment rather than a broad programme of unrelated consultancy services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 17:00. The awarded contract went to Bella Olah for £3,817, with an award date of 1 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The procurement’s estimated value was also £3,817. The award is active and covers the full project-supervision service requirement. This was a single supplier award, rather than a multi-supplier or multi-lot outcome. The route indicates that suppliers first qualify for, or participate in, the relevant dynamic purchasing system before competing for individual project call-offs.

This award is useful market evidence for small project-supervision providers serving UK public research and innovation bodies. A credible competitor would need to show that it can supervise a defined project assignment, organise activity against agreed objectives, monitor progress, identify issues and provide clear reporting to the buying organisation. The procurement demonstrates that UKRI uses a dynamic purchasing system to source this type of specialist support, so suppliers with the relevant DPS standing and an efficient response process are better placed for comparable call-offs. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller provider rather than only a large consultancy. Relevant experience in public-sector or research-project oversight would strengthen credibility when this type of requirement returns.
