Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation is procuring project-supervision services other than construction supervision, classified under CPV 79421100. The work supports oversight and supervision of a project rather than the delivery of construction works. It is a services contract for delivery in the United Kingdom, with UKRI as the buying organisation. The requirement is relevant to consultancies and specialist project-management providers that can supervise project activity, coordinate delivery and provide structured oversight for a public research and innovation organisation. The published scope identifies one service requirement and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buyer is based at Polaris House in Swindon, although the delivery location is stated at UK level rather than for a particular town or site.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The submission deadline was 13 May 2026 at 17:00, and the contract was awarded on 15 May 2026. Braintomic Ltd was selected for the contract at £3,328 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2027. The procurement is categorised as services and is suitable for SMEs. The award is active, and the tender itself is marked complete. The available procurement details do not set out an evaluation weighting or a separate award-criteria breakdown, so the route and outcome are the main indicators of how this requirement was competed.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from UK Research & Innovation for focused project-supervision support delivered through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable experience supervising projects, tracking delivery against objectives, coordinating stakeholders and reporting clearly to a public-sector client. The small contract scale and SME suitability indicate that a compact consultancy or specialist project-management business could be an appropriate fit, rather than only a large professional-services firm. Businesses should also be prepared to meet the requirements for participation in a dynamic purchasing system and to present concise evidence of relevant project oversight, dependable governance and the capacity to support UKRI’s research and innovation environment.
