Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation is procuring project-supervision services for project 10198316. The requirement falls within the professional services category covering supervision and oversight of projects other than construction work. It is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction works opportunity. Delivery is required in the United Kingdom. The named buying organisation is UK Research and Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The contracting information identifies TÜV SÜD (UK) Limited as the selected supplier, indicating that the procurement is focused on specialist project-supervision capability rather than a broad programme of unrelated consultancy services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids closed at 5pm on 27 May 2026. UK Research and Innovation awarded the contract to TÜV SÜD (UK) Limited on 3 June 2026. The awarded value is £5,800. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 October 2027. The tender’s total estimated value was also £5,800. The requirement was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system’s selective call-off process. One active award is recorded, with the same supplier and contract period as the tender. No lots are identified, so the award covers the project-supervision service as a single requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of UK Research and Innovation’s demand for focused project-supervision support outside construction. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in supervising projects, monitoring delivery and providing structured oversight to a public-sector research and innovation organisation. The opportunity was presented as suitable for SMEs, so specialist smaller firms may be well placed where they can show relevant project-supervision experience and the capacity to deliver a defined assignment. Experience of working through a dynamic purchasing system would also be commercially relevant, since this buyer used that route to select the supplier.
