Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, organised by UK Research & Innovation located in Swindon, England, focused on acquiring project-supervision services not related to construction work. This tender, titled "ITT for Projects 10187139, 10185005, 10186428," was conducted through a selective procurement method, specifically as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The procurement process is now in the award stage, with the contract awarded on the 5th of May, 2026, to S L S Darling Limited. The tender corresponds to the services industry category and supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Significant dates include the tender period ending on the 23rd of April, 2026, and the contract period spanning from the 1st of July, 2026, to the 30th of June, 2028. The total contract value is £14,395 GBP.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses offering project-supervision services across the United Kingdom, particularly for those adept at functioning within dynamic purchasing systems. SMEs stand to benefit primarily, given the suitability requirements. Companies with experience in managing non-construction related projects, who can fulfil service needs efficiently, and who have the capability to deliver quality throughout the designated contract period are well-positioned to engage in similar future tenders. UK Research & Innovation's choice of S L S Darling Limited as the supplier highlights the potential for SMEs to secure government contracts within the specified service category.
