Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services for projects 10184894 and 10184853. The requirement falls within professional project management and supervision services, specifically project-supervision services other than for construction work (CPV 79421100). The work is categorised as services and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement covers supervision activity for the named projects rather than construction works themselves. UK Research and Innovation is the buying organisation. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the expected scale and delivery model can be handled by an appropriately qualified specialist consultancy or project-management provider. The selected supplier, Mayflower Innovation, is an SME based in Manchester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 27 August 2026 to Mayflower Innovation. The awarded contract value is £7,922. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The opportunity was run as a selective procedure using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 18 August 2026 at 5:00 pm. The published procurement value was also £7,922. The award is active, with UK Research and Innovation as the buyer. The contracting process identifies the requirement as a services procurement and records the contract for the two named projects. No separate lots or multiple award recipients are identified.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for focused project-supervision support outside construction. A credible competitor for similar work would need to manage project oversight for named research or innovation projects, maintain clear governance and reporting, and provide dependable coordination throughout delivery. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a specialist consultancy with a proportionate team and evidence of managing comparable projects can be commercially relevant without the scale of a major national contractor. Mayflower Innovation’s selection indicates that a smaller innovation-focused provider can compete successfully through a dynamic purchasing system call-off. Businesses with strong project-management controls, experienced supervisors, and a record of delivering structured oversight for public or innovation-funded programmes should monitor this buyer’s related requirements.
