Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation commissioned project-supervision services for a project, classified under CPV 79421100. The procurement describes one service item and names the United Kingdom as its delivery country; it does not identify a more specific location or explain the project’s subject or supervision tasks. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation. The selected supplier, John Heywood Consulting, is a small business. The requirement is for project supervision rather than construction work, so it is relevant to consultancies and independent specialists with experience overseeing project delivery. The available scope is brief, but it establishes the service category and national delivery context for businesses assessing whether this buyer’s project oversight requirements align with their work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to John Heywood Consulting on 11 May 2026. The award value is £2,570. The contract period runs from 1 June to 30 November 2026. The estimated tender value was also £2,570. The contract was called off from a dynamic purchasing system using a selective procedure. The response deadline was 7 May 2026 at 5pm. The requirement is recorded as a single service item, with no lots described. UK Research & Innovation indicated that small and medium-sized enterprises were suitable to take part, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The available procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria or detailed eligibility requirements, so the stated basis for competing is limited to the SME suitability and the selective call-off route.

For a supplier that did not win, this award is evidence that UK Research & Innovation uses its dynamic purchasing system to buy project-supervision services through selective call-offs. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show relevant project oversight capability and the ability to deliver supervision services for UKRI’s project needs. The selected supplier is a small business, and the procurement expressly treated SMEs as suitable, indicating that this scale of requirement can be within reach of smaller consultancies or independent specialists. The service is framed as project supervision outside construction work; construction project management alone may therefore not match the stated requirement. The procurement gives no specific technical standard, accreditation, staffing level or project-sector experience to use as a qualification benchmark.
