Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation commissioned project-supervision services other than construction supervision. The work covers projects identified as 10190884, 10194062 and 10191676, with delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a professional services requirement supporting oversight and management of projects rather than the supply of goods or construction works. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The procurement falls within the services category and is relevant to organisations that provide project supervision, coordination, monitoring or related project-management support for public-sector research and innovation programmes. The requirement is focused on supervision of the named projects, so suppliers should assess their ability to provide suitably experienced project oversight in a UK setting and to work with UK Research & Innovation’s delivery arrangements.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids closed on 12 March 2026 at 17:00 UTC, and the award was made on 20 March 2026. Kiteway Ltd was selected for an award of £7,860, with a contract running from 1 April 2026 to 31 July 2026. The tender’s estimated value was also £7,860. The contract was evaluated through the purchasing system’s selective call-off process. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarded supplier is Kiteway Ltd, an SME based in Tewkesbury. This outcome shows the requirement was fulfilled through an existing dynamic purchasing system rather than a standalone open procedure.

This award is commercially relevant to SMEs that deliver focused project-supervision services for UK public bodies. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need to show that it can oversee several defined projects, coordinate activity across a short delivery programme and provide reliable monitoring and reporting to the buying organisation. Experience in project supervision, project controls, stakeholder coordination and delivery assurance would help demonstrate fit, particularly where work concerns research and innovation projects rather than construction. Suppliers should also be prepared to operate through a dynamic purchasing system and respond to selective call-offs, where the ability to understand a specific project brief quickly and provide proportionate, capable support is important. The award provides a clear example of UKRI buying specialist project oversight from an SME supplier.
