Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction supervision, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is a service supporting the oversight and management of projects, rather than construction works themselves. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon. The procurement is categorised as services and is identified as Project 10180425. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the requirement was intended to be accessible to businesses operating at that scale. The selected supplier, David Thom trading as DWTDATA, is recorded as an SME based in Spofforth, North Yorkshire.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 May 2026 to David Thom trading as DWTDATA. The awarded contract value is £11,250. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2028. The route was a selective procedure using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than an open standalone competition. The tender submission deadline was 7 May 2026 at 5pm. The published requirement covered one project-supervision services item for delivery in the United Kingdom. The award is active and the awarded value is the same as the tender’s stated value. The process therefore records a completed purchasing decision for a defined project-supervision requirement.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation buys specialist project-supervision support through its dynamic purchasing system and that a small enterprise can secure this type of work. Businesses considering similar requirements should be able to provide project supervision and oversight services, with experience relevant to managing or monitoring projects outside construction delivery. A credible competitor would need the capacity to support UK Research & Innovation’s project-management needs over a multi-year service period and to operate effectively within a selective dynamic purchasing system call-off. The successful supplier was an SME rather than a large corporate provider, so smaller project-management, monitoring or supervision practices with a focused service offer may be well placed for comparable future requirements from this buyer.
