Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement covers supervision and oversight of two projects, identified as 10186635 and 10187677. It is a services contract delivered in the United Kingdom, with UK Research & Innovation as the buying organisation. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist consultancies and independent project-management providers that can support publicly funded research and innovation activity. The requirement is focused on project supervision rather than construction delivery, so businesses should have experience coordinating, monitoring or overseeing project work and reporting progress to a public-sector client.

The procurement has been awarded. UK Research & Innovation selected Tall Boy (Harrogate) Ltd on 10 June 2026. The awarded value is £7,015. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender deadline was 10 June 2026 at 17:00. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than an open standalone tender. The contract is for services and the tender was marked complete. The award is active. The published outcome records one supplier and one awarded value; these figures should be considered separately as the award amount, not combined with any other procurement or lot.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from UK Research & Innovation for specialist project-supervision support across two projects, at a scale that can be delivered by an SME. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical capability in project oversight, including coordinating activities, monitoring delivery and maintaining clear progress reporting for a public-sector research and innovation client. Experience managing several project requirements within a short, defined assignment would be relevant. Suppliers should also be able to operate through a dynamic purchasing system call-off route and respond to selective opportunities efficiently. The successful supplier’s SME status indicates that a smaller specialist business can be suitable for this type of requirement.
