Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services, classified as services other than construction project supervision (CPV 79421100). The procurement is titled “ITT for Projects 10205574, 10204465, 10205413 and 10207097”, but the available description does not explain the individual projects or the specific supervision tasks. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon. The work is for delivery in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is identified. The requirement is for professional project oversight rather than construction work itself, so it is most relevant to firms providing project supervision or management services for public-sector research and innovation programmes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research & Innovation selected Galpin Benton Associates Limited, an SME. The award was made on 17 August 2026. Its value is £12,600, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The original estimated procurement value was also £12,600. The requirement was procured through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 6 August 2026 at 17:00. The published information does not state evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements beyond indicating that the opportunity was suitable for SMEs and not suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award provides a concrete example of UK Research & Innovation buying project-supervision services through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, and of an SME being selected. Firms competing for a similar requirement from this buyer would need to demonstrate credible experience supervising projects, with a clear ability to oversee delivery across research and innovation project work. The award indicates a modest, time-limited service requirement rather than construction delivery. A supplier’s fit will depend on being able to provide focused project oversight and meet the buyer’s requirements through the relevant purchasing system. The named project identifiers do not explain the underlying work, so the award alone does not establish specialist technical subject matter or particular qualifications, accreditations or staffing levels.
