Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services, classified as project-supervision services other than for construction work (CPV 79421100). The requirement is identified only as Project 10201033; no further scope or purpose is described, so its specific supervision tasks cannot be characterised. UK Research & Innovation is the buyer, based at Polaris House in Swindon, England. The recorded delivery locations are in the United Kingdom, without a more precise place. This is a services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. The procurement record names UK Research & Innovation as buyer and John Heywood Consulting as the selected supplier. The information supports identifying the broad service area and buyer, but does not establish the project sector, deliverables or locations within the UK.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to John Heywood Consulting, an SME. The award was made on 13 August 2026, at a value of £10,000. Its recorded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2028. The tender estimated the requirement at £10,000 and gave a submission deadline of 6 August 2026. It was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender was for one unsegmented requirement; no lot-by-lot awards or evaluation criteria are recorded. The contract period in the award extends to February 2028, while the tender’s estimated period ended in February 2027; the awarded dates are used here as the contract outcome.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation bought a relatively small, time-limited package of project-supervision services through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, and selected an SME supplier. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide project-supervision capability suited to the particular project, along with the capacity to deliver over a defined contract period. The published description does not identify the project’s subject, required methods, deliverables, professional credentials or experience thresholds, so it cannot establish a more specific technical profile. The relevant commercial signal is demand from UK Research & Innovation for project supervision, rather than for construction work itself. Suppliers already positioned to provide this kind of supervision, particularly smaller businesses able to undertake a focused assignment, are the closest fit indicated by the outcome. No specialist accreditation requirement is evidenced.
