Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services, classified under CPV 79421100, for a project identified as 10180472. The requirement is a service rather than goods or construction works, and concerns supervising project delivery outside construction. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon, England. This opportunity is relevant to consultancies and specialist service providers that manage, monitor or oversee projects for public research and innovation organisations. It may also suit smaller firms whose core offer is project supervision and related delivery oversight, particularly where they can operate across the UK and provide structured supervision for a multi-year public sector requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Promar International Ltd on 13 August 2026. It used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded at £6,400, with the contract running from 1 September 2026 to 30 September 2028. The tender submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 17:00. UK Research & Innovation identified the service as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the awarded contract covers the full project-supervision service requirement. The successful supplier is Promar International Ltd, an SME. Evaluation resulted in a single active award for the stated requirement, rather than separate awards or lots.

This award is useful market evidence for firms providing project supervision services to UK research and innovation bodies. The buyer used a dynamic purchasing system call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to understand that purchasing route and maintain the eligibility needed to participate in such systems. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, and the selected supplier is also an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist consultancy can be credible for this type of public contract. Relevant competitors should be able to supervise project delivery across the United Kingdom, provide clear oversight and reporting, and demonstrate dependable management of project activities for a public sector client. Experience in non-construction project supervision would be directly relevant.
