Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for a project in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers supervision and oversight of project activity rather than construction work, providing management and coordination support to help ensure a project is properly controlled and delivered. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. This is a services contract suited to businesses providing professional project supervision, project management or related delivery oversight. The requirement is relevant to firms able to support UK public-sector or research-related projects, with the operational capability to supervise project work and report effectively to the buyer. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable suppliers for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 11 June 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 22 June 2026. Helix Projects Limited was selected for an awarded value of £4,572.50 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 August 2028. The published tender value was also £4,572.50. The contract covers a single project-supervision services requirement delivered in the United Kingdom. No separate lots or alternative award recipients are identified. The process was evaluated through the purchasing route used for the dynamic purchasing system.

For suppliers that did not win, this award provides a clear example of UK Research & Innovation’s demand for small-scale project-supervision support and its use of a dynamic purchasing system call-off route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable ability to supervise and coordinate project activity, maintain delivery oversight, communicate clearly with a public-sector buyer and provide reliable reporting. The opportunity is particularly relevant to small and medium-sized project-management or professional-services firms, since SMEs were considered suitable to deliver it. Experience supervising non-construction projects, managing controls and risks, and working within structured public-sector purchasing arrangements would help a supplier present a convincing offer when comparable work returns to the market.
