Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement supports the supervision of a project rather than construction delivery itself. The service is to be delivered in the United Kingdom for UK Research and Innovation, the public research and innovation organisation based in Swindon, England. This is a service contract suitable for businesses providing structured project oversight, coordination and monitoring in a public research and innovation environment. The awarded supplier, Mayflower Innovation, is an SME based in Manchester. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist firms with relevant project-supervision capability are within the intended supplier market. VCSE participation was not identified as suitable for this requirement.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. UK Research and Innovation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 20 May 2026 at 5:00pm. The contract was awarded to Mayflower Innovation on 12 June 2026 for £1,734. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The awarded amount and contract dates apply to the single project-supervision requirement. The published outcome records Mayflower Innovation as the active supplier. The procurement category is services. The available procurement information identifies the route and requirement but does not set out a separate scored evaluation basis, lot structure or additional participation conditions.

For a competitor, this award is evidence that UK Research and Innovation buys small, defined packages of project-supervision services through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible supplier would need to provide practical oversight for a public research and innovation project, with the organisation, reporting discipline and coordination skills needed to supervise delivery outside construction work. The requirement is well suited to an SME with focused project-management capability rather than only a large consultancy. Relevant experience of working with public-sector or research-led projects would help demonstrate understanding of governance, accountability and stakeholder coordination. Businesses already qualified for, or able to access, the relevant dynamic purchasing system route would be better placed to compete for comparable requirements from this buyer. The awarded supplier shows that a specialist SME can meet the requirement.
