Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation is buying project-supervision services for three projects identified in the procurement as 10205010, 10203546 and 10203232. The requirement is project oversight and supervision rather than construction work itself. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, and the stated delivery country is the United Kingdom. This is a services requirement. The work is relevant to firms that provide project supervision and monitoring services for research and innovation programmes; the project identifiers distinguish the assignments, but no further project-specific scope is set out.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Spark Assessment Services Limited. The award was made on 19 August 2026, for £8,100, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. It was run as a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 6 August 2026 at 17:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Three project identifiers are covered by the requirement, but no separate lot awards or evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

The award shows that UK Research & Innovation procures project-supervision services across multiple projects through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system. The selected supplier, Spark Assessment Services Limited, is recorded as an SME, demonstrating that a smaller specialist provider has delivered this type of work for the buyer. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show it can supervise and monitor several project assignments and provide dependable oversight across a year-long engagement. Experience delivering project supervision for research or innovation activity would be directly relevant. The recorded requirement is a modest, multi-project services assignment, so suppliers whose delivery model can handle several distinct project workstreams at this scale are the closest fit. No particular accreditation or technical qualification is identified.
