Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement supports supervision and oversight of a specific UK Research & Innovation project, rather than construction delivery itself. The service is categorised as professional services and is intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation, based at Polaris House in Swindon. The selected supplier, Mayflower Innovation, is a Manchester-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The requirement is therefore relevant to firms providing project supervision, coordination, monitoring or related project-management support in UK public-sector or research environments.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Mayflower Innovation on 15 June 2026. The award value is £4,581. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The tender submission deadline was 3 June 2026 at 5pm. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than an open competition. The stated procurement value and awarded value are both £4,581. The evaluation was for project-supervision services other than construction work, with the requirement treated as a services contract. The award is active, and the contract period matches the period stated for the procurement. No separate lots or alternative awardees are identified.

For a supplier considering future work with UK Research & Innovation, this award demonstrates demand for focused project-supervision support delivered through the organisation’s dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor would need practical capability in supervising and overseeing projects outside the construction sector, together with the capacity to provide a defined professional service rather than physical works or goods. The procurement was suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist consultancy could be well placed if it can evidence relevant project-management and monitoring experience. Firms should also be prepared to operate within a selective dynamic-purchasing-system route and to support UK-based delivery. The modest contract scale suggests a focused assignment suited to a lean team or specialist adviser.
