Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services, classified under CPV 79421100, for a project identified as 10199258. The requirement sits within the services category and concerns supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction work. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The awarded supplier, Sandhills Management Consultancy Limited, is an Isle of Wight-based consultancy classified as an SME. The opportunity therefore suits businesses providing structured project supervision, monitoring and management support for publicly funded research and innovation activity, particularly consultancies able to work with a UK-wide client and delivery context.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. UK Research & Innovation selected Sandhills Management Consultancy Limited on 8 July 2026. The award value is £3,425, and the contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 29 February 2028. The procurement used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 24 June 2026 at 17:00. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was evaluated within a competitive call-off process, with the successful supplier appointed to deliver the project-supervision services for the specified project.

This award is relevant to small project-management and management-consultancy firms that can provide practical supervision, monitoring and coordination for a defined public-sector project. A competitor would need to show that it can oversee delivery in a controlled way, maintain clear records, track progress and issues, and provide concise reporting to a research and innovation funder. The selected business is an SME consultancy, indicating that a smaller specialist provider can meet this type of requirement. Experience of public-sector governance, research or innovation programmes, stakeholder coordination and evidence-based performance monitoring would strengthen credibility when comparable work returns to the market. Familiarity with dynamic purchasing systems and call-off competitions would also be commercially important.
