Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work for project 107586. The requirement is categorised as a professional service, covering supervision and oversight of project activity rather than construction delivery itself. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation, based at Polaris House in Swindon, England. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The service is part of UKRI’s project requirements and may suit consultancies that provide structured project supervision, monitoring and coordination for public-sector or research-related programmes. The named requirement is specific to project 107586, so suppliers would need to assess their experience against that type of assignment rather than assume it covers general construction management or wider programme delivery.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The submission deadline was 28 August 2026 at 5pm. UK Research & Innovation awarded the contract to ZEC Consultancy Ltd on 3 September 2026. The awarded value is £4,200. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The published data records the same supplier, value and contract period in the award outcome. This was a single requirement, with no separate lots identified. The award route means competition took place within the existing dynamic purchasing system rather than through an open tender for all suppliers. The outcome is an active award, rather than a cancelled or unsuccessful process.

For a supplier that did not win, this award is evidence that UK Research & Innovation uses a dynamic purchasing system to obtain project-supervision services from smaller consultancies. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to provide practical project oversight and demonstrate that it can supervise and monitor project activity in a UK setting. Familiarity with call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system would be commercially relevant, because the buyer used that route for this requirement. The selected supplier is identified as an SME, indicating that a smaller consultancy can be considered suitable for this type of work. Businesses with a focused project-supervision offer, public-sector delivery capability and the operational capacity to support a multi-year assignment would be well placed to assess similar UKRI requirements.
