Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services, classified as project-supervision services other than for construction work (CPV 79421100). The requirement is described only as an invitation to tender for Project 10203381, so its specific project responsibilities and intended outcomes are not set out. 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. This is a services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to P&I Associates Ltd. The award was made on 24 September 2026. The awarded value is £1,850. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The requirement was procured through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, using a selective process. The original estimated value was also £1,850. The submission deadline was 4 September 2026 at 5pm. The process is recorded as a single requirement, with no lot-level split. UK Research & Innovation marked the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not for voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate evaluation criteria are stated.

This award provides a clear example of UK Research & Innovation buying project-supervision services through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, at a small scale and for a defined one-year term. The selected supplier, P&I Associates Ltd, is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller specialist supplier secured the work. For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to demonstrate relevant project-supervision capability and the capacity to deliver the defined services for UK Research & Innovation. The available description does not identify a particular technical specialism, accreditation, staffing level or previous experience requirement, so the award does not support claims that any specific credential was necessary. Suppliers already positioned to participate in the relevant purchasing system may find this buying route particularly pertinent.
