Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than for construction work (CPV 79421100). The requirement is for professional oversight and coordination of a project rather than construction delivery itself. It is classified as a services contract and the work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement was run by UK Research & Innovation, a public research and innovation organisation. The selected supplier, Mayflower Innovation, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Manchester. The requirement therefore concerns specialist project supervision for a UKRI project, with the opportunity suited to businesses providing project-management or project-supervision services in a public-sector or research environment.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Mayflower Innovation on 7 July 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 24 June 2026 at 5pm. The awarded contract value is £5,025, with a contract period from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The award was made on the basis of the requirement for project-supervision services. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and unsuitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active and covers the single stated requirement for UK delivery.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of UKRI demand for focused project-supervision support delivered through a dynamic purchasing system. Relevant competitors would need demonstrable capability in supervising and coordinating projects other than construction work, with the organisation and capacity to provide a defined specialist service to a public research and innovation buyer. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only by a large consultancy. Businesses with established project-management methods, public-sector delivery discipline and access to the relevant dynamic purchasing system would be well placed when comparable requirements return.
