Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services other than for construction work. The requirement is classified under CPV 79421100 and falls within the services category. The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom for UK Research and Innovation, whose address is in Swindon, England. The procurement relates to project oversight and supervision rather than construction activity itself. The selected supplier, TÜV SÜD (UK) Limited, is based in East Kilbride, Glasgow. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not identified as a suitable organisation type. This is a focused professional-services requirement for a supplier able to provide project-supervision expertise to a UK research and innovation organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research and Innovation used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 27 May 2026 at 5:00 pm. The contract was awarded to TÜV SÜD (UK) Limited on 3 June 2026 for £5,560. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2027. The award is active. The published procurement value was also £5,560. The available information identifies one requirement and one supplier award. The process is therefore an example of a completed, targeted call-off rather than a broad open competition. Its evaluation basis and detailed participation requirements are set out through the dynamic purchasing system and associated procurement arrangements.

For suppliers that did not win this requirement, the award indicates demand from UK Research and Innovation for specialist project-supervision services outside construction. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need demonstrable capability in supervising and coordinating projects, with the professional capacity to support a research and innovation organisation across the United Kingdom. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that this type of work can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only by a large consultancy. Experience of working within a dynamic purchasing system and responding effectively to selective call-offs would also be commercially relevant. Firms with strong project oversight methods, suitably experienced staff and evidence of delivering comparable professional services would be best placed when this buyer next assesses a similar need.
