Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services for non-construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is a service contract supporting the supervision and oversight of projects rather than construction delivery itself. Work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research and Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon. The procurement falls within the services category and relates to Project 10194417. The selected supplier, Verita Consulting Services Limited, is based in Holywell, Flintshire. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the buyer considers an SME-scale provider capable of delivering this type of project-supervision service.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. UK Research and Innovation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 1 July 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 7 July 2026. Verita Consulting Services Limited was awarded the contract for £18,750. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The award is active. This was a single requirement rather than a procurement divided into separate lots. The process therefore records one selected supplier and one awarded value for the project-supervision service.

For competitors, this award demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for project-supervision services outside construction, with an SME supplier selected through a dynamic purchasing system call-off. A credible future provider would need to supervise and oversee projects effectively, apply structured project-management methods and work across requirements delivered in the United Kingdom. Experience of project supervision, clear reporting, reliable governance and the capacity to support a multi-year public-sector service would strengthen a comparable proposition. The buyer’s use of a dynamic purchasing system indicates that suppliers need to understand DPS call-off procedures and be prepared to meet the relevant qualification and competition requirements. The opportunity is particularly relevant to established small and medium-sized consultancies specialising in project oversight.
