Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services, classified as services. The requirement is identified by two project reference numbers, but the procurement description does not explain the projects, the supervision activities or their intended outcomes. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom, with no more specific place stated. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation. This is a project-supervision requirement rather than construction work itself; the classification indicates supervision services outside construction. The opportunity was handled as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so it relates to a buyer using that purchasing route for this defined service requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Howfar Innovation Ltd. The award was made on 4 August 2026, following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The awarded contract value is £5,464. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 5pm. The overall estimated tender value was also £5,464. The procurement was classified as a services contract, and UK Research & Innovation indicated that it was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation criteria or further detail on how competing offers were assessed is recorded in the process information.

This award confirms a small-scale requirement for project-supervision services within UK Research & Innovation, delivered through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Howfar Innovation Ltd, identified as an SME, was selected, showing that a smaller supplier can secure this type of work through the route used. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate relevant project-supervision capability and the capacity to deliver the defined project support over the contract term. The project references do not reveal the subject matter or specialist skills involved, so the award alone cannot establish a particular technical specialism. Suppliers already qualified to participate in the relevant purchasing system and able to respond to UK Research & Innovation’s project-specific requirements are best placed to compete when comparable work is brought to market.
