Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation, located in Swindon, England, has completed the procurement process for a tender titled "ITT for project 10197061, 10196210, 10198995 and 10197092". The procurement, in the category of project-supervision services other than for construction work, is aimed at the United Kingdom market. The procurement process was selective, utilising a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender's value was set at £9,600 GBP, and it progressed to the award stage with key dates including the end of the tender period on 20th May 2026 and the contract period spanning from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2027. The award was published on 22nd July 2026, confirming that Assentian Limited secured the contract following the award on 29th May 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as it aligns with their capabilities to provide specialised project-supervision services. Businesses proficient in managing and supervising projects within non-construction sectors would find this contract beneficial. Additionally, SMEs that are part of a dynamic purchasing system might have a competitive edge in securing such contracts due to the selective procurement method applied by the contracting authority, UK Research & Innovation. This opens avenues for suppliers specializing in consultancy and project management to expand their presence and service offerings in the public sector.
