Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation commissioned project-supervision services other than construction supervision for six identified projects. The work is categorised as professional services and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers oversight and coordination of project activity rather than construction works themselves. UKRI is the buying organisation, based in Swindon. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to independent project-management specialists, small consultancies and other suitably experienced professional-services firms. Businesses whose work centres on supervising project delivery, monitoring progress and coordinating project requirements are the closest fit. The service classification is CPV 79421100. The requirement relates to several projects grouped within one procurement, so suppliers with the ability to oversee multiple assignments would be well aligned with its scope.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids had to be submitted by 20 May 2026 at 17:00. UK Research and Innovation awarded the contract to Joss Newberry on 4 June 2026 for £15,400. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The award covers the project-supervision services for the six identified projects and has an estimated overall tender value of £15,400. The recorded contract outcome is active. The procurement was classified as a services requirement and was suitable for SMEs. The award route indicates that suppliers were selected through the established dynamic purchasing system rather than through an unrestricted tender.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award shows that UK Research and Innovation buys focused project-supervision support for a group of projects through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need practical capability in supervising project delivery, coordinating activity across several assignments and providing clear progress oversight to a public-sector research and innovation organisation. The scale indicates a compact, specialist assignment rather than a large delivery team, so an SME or independent consultant with relevant project-management experience could be well placed. Familiarity with public-sector reporting, disciplined administration, stakeholder coordination and work delivered across the UK would strengthen a future proposition. Suppliers should also be able to operate through the relevant purchasing-system route and demonstrate capacity to manage multiple project references within one engagement.
