Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation bought project-supervision services other than construction supervision, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement covers projects identified as 10195996, 10199660, 10200283 and 10196946. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a services procurement for a public research and innovation organisation, rather than construction works or the supply of goods. The appointed provider is A2F Associates Limited, a UK small and medium-sized enterprise based in Southery, Norfolk. The work is therefore relevant to consultancies and specialist project-management businesses that support public-sector or research-related programmes, particularly those able to supervise projects across the UK and work within a structured public procurement arrangement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 5 June 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 17 June 2026. A2F Associates Limited was awarded the contract for £10,695 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement is not divided into lots in the published outcome. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the tender status is complete.

This outcome confirms demand from UK Research & Innovation for project-supervision services supporting several public-sector projects. It provides a useful benchmark for consultancies and independent specialists considering future requirements from this buyer: the immediate opportunity was delivered through a dynamic purchasing system, valued at a modest project-support scale, and awarded to an SME. Relevant suppliers would need credible project-supervision capability outside construction, the capacity to support multiple specified projects, and the administrative readiness to respond through a dynamic purchasing system call-off. Businesses with experience of public-sector governance, reporting, coordination and assurance would be well placed to demonstrate relevance when comparable requirements return to the market.
