Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation bought project supervision services for work other than construction, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement sits within the services category and covers delivery in the United Kingdom. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon. The selected supplier is Andrew Kimber Coaching, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Swindon. The procurement concerns supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction activity itself, so it is relevant to businesses providing project management, project supervision or closely related oversight services for public research and innovation programmes. The named buyer and supplier indicate a requirement managed and delivered through UK public-sector channels, with the work associated with UK-wide delivery.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 13 July 2026 to Andrew Kimber Coaching. The awarded value is £5,280. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 29 February 2028. It was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with tender responses due by 24 June 2026 at 17:00. The contract was evaluated as a services requirement for project supervision other than construction work. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. There was one award, to the named supplier, and the award is active. The process therefore records a completed purchase rather than a current competition.

This award provides a clear example of UK Research & Innovation purchasing non-construction project supervision through a dynamic purchasing system. Businesses that provide structured project oversight, monitoring and supervision for public-sector or research-related work are the closest commercial comparators. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that a smaller specialist provider can compete through this route rather than only a large consultancy. A credible future supplier would need to demonstrate the ability to supervise projects reliably, manage reporting and oversight responsibilities, and operate within a DPS call-off process. The buyer, service category and selected SME provide useful indicators for firms tracking recurring project-supervision demand from UKRI.
