Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than for construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement supports the supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction delivery itself. Services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement is a services contract and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation. The selected supplier, Braintomic Ltd, is a small enterprise based in London. This opportunity is therefore relevant to firms providing project supervision, project management oversight or related delivery assurance services for UK research and innovation programmes, particularly smaller specialist consultancies able to support a public-sector research organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 23 April 2026 at 17:00. UK Research & Innovation awarded the contract to Braintomic Ltd on 1 May 2026. The awarded value is £3,328. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2027. The evaluation basis was the procurement requirements for project-supervision services; the published information identifies the procedure and service classification but does not set out separate quality or price weightings. This was a single requirement rather than a multi-lot award, with the procurement recorded as complete and the award active.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication that UK Research & Innovation uses a dynamic purchasing system to source defined project-supervision support. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in supervising projects outside construction, maintaining oversight of delivery, and providing concise, reliable assurance to a public-sector research and innovation buyer. The opportunity was suitable for an SME, so smaller specialist consultancies can be commercially relevant where they can show dependable project controls, experienced supervision personnel and the capacity to manage the required service at this scale. Firms with a focused project-management or delivery-assurance offer, rather than construction contractors, are the closest match.
