Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation commissioned project-supervision services for Project 10203422. The requirement is classified as project supervision outside construction, so it concerns oversight and coordination of a project rather than construction supervision. The procurement is categorised as a service and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The delivery location is recorded only as the United Kingdom, with no more specific place identified. The buyer is UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon. The project title and description do not provide further detail on the project being supervised or the precise tasks expected, so the clearest indication of fit is experience providing project-supervision services to public sector or research organisations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Frith & Frost Ltd. The award was made on 7 August 2026, for £3,981. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The estimated procurement value was also £3,981. The contract was called off from a dynamic purchasing system using a selective process. The tender deadline was 30 July 2026 at 5pm. The published information does not state separate lots, eligibility requirements beyond SME suitability, or evaluation criteria. The award is active, and the contract period is set out in the award information.

This award shows UK Research and Innovation buying a modest, time-limited package of project-supervision services through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Frith & Frost Ltd, an SME, was selected, demonstrating that a smaller supplier can secure this kind of requirement. For a future UKRI requirement of this type, credible competitors would need to show they can provide project oversight and coordination, deliver the work within a defined contract period, and operate effectively through the relevant purchasing system. The requirement is specifically project supervision outside construction; experience in unrelated consultancy or construction management alone would not establish a close match. The available scope provides no basis for identifying particular professional accreditations, technical specialisms or staffing levels as selection requirements.
