Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation bought project-supervision services for three projects. The requirement is described only at a high level, without project-specific tasks or outputs. The work is associated with UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, and delivery is in the United Kingdom. This is a services procurement, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The three project references are internal identifiers and do not clarify the subject matter, so the commercially useful description is limited to project supervision. The buyer is the organisation funding or using the services; the selected supplier was Howfar Innovation Ltd.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Howfar Innovation Ltd. The award was made on 26 August 2026 for £6,310. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 April 2027. The procurement was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The initial estimated procurement value was £7,310, compared with the awarded value of £6,310. Bids were due by 22 July 2026 at 5pm. The requirement covered three projects, but no separate lots or project-level award values are recorded. UK Research & Innovation marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs. No evaluation criteria or bidder qualification requirements are described.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation buys project-supervision services for multiple projects through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system. Howfar Innovation Ltd, identified as an SME, was selected, so a small supplier can compete for this type of work through that route. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate relevant project-supervision capability and the capacity to support several projects; the procurement gives no more detailed technical, accreditation or experience requirements to point to. The relatively contained scale suggests this requirement may suit an SME able to deliver focused supervision services, rather than a provider whose offer is limited to large construction projects. Suppliers tracking UK Research & Innovation should consider whether their project oversight expertise fits this specific service need.
