Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation is buying project-supervision services for a project identified as Project 10206021. The stated service classification is project supervision other than for construction, indicating oversight and supervision work rather than construction delivery. The procurement is categorised as a service. The delivery location is given as the United Kingdom, with no more specific place identified. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon. The description contains no further detail on project activities, supervision outputs or the operational setting, so the requirement can be matched at a broad project-supervision level rather than against a defined technical brief.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Zoel Associates Limited was selected, with an award value of £5,200. The award date was 7 August 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The original tender estimated the same value, and submissions were due by 30 July 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots, detailed eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement information, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be described beyond the procurement route and selection of the supplier.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation buys project-supervision services through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, and that the selected supplier was a small business. Firms providing project oversight, coordination and supervision outside construction are the closest fit. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate relevant project-supervision experience, dependable delivery and the capacity to support the buyer’s project requirements over a year-long engagement. The published description is broad, so businesses should assess fit against their experience in supervising projects rather than assume a particular technical discipline or deliverable. The award indicates a relatively modest, focused requirement and a route that favours suppliers already positioned to participate in the relevant purchasing system.
