Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation commissioned project-supervision services, classified as services other than supervision of construction work. The procurement is titled “ITT for Project 10208597”; no further project activities or outputs are described. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation, based in Swindon, England. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom, with no more specific place identified. This is a small, focused professional-services requirement rather than a supply of goods or construction work. Its relevance is strongest for firms providing project oversight or supervision services to research and innovation organisations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Science Developments Ltd. The award date was 22 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 June 2027. The awarded value is £4,174.50. UK Research & Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 26 August 2026 at 5pm. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots or award evaluation criteria are described. The awarded supplier is an SME. The award is active; no cancellation or termination is reported.

This award confirms a specific, modest-scale requirement from UK Research & Innovation for project-supervision services, procured through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Science Developments Ltd, an SME, was selected, showing that a smaller specialist supplier can win this kind of focused assignment. Firms seeking to compete for a comparable requirement should be able to provide credible project oversight for a public research and innovation buyer and deliver a defined service within a relatively short contract period. Experience relevant to supervising projects, maintaining progress oversight and working with research-sector clients would help establish fit, though the procurement gives no detailed technical or accreditation requirements. The commercial signal is most relevant to SMEs already positioned to undertake targeted project-supervision work through purchasing-system call-offs.
