Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is a services contract supporting the supervision and management of projects rather than construction delivery itself. Work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based at Polaris House, North Star Avenue, Swindon, England. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the requirement is scaled for participation by smaller professional services firms. The named service provider is KLCE Consulting Ltd, a Fife-based consultancy. The work sits within project oversight and supervision, so relevant businesses are likely to be those providing structured project-management support, monitoring, reporting and assurance services to research and innovation organisations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 5 June 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded to KLCE Consulting Ltd on 16 June 2026 for £3,605. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active. The opportunity was evaluated as a single services requirement for project supervision, with the procurement classified as suitable for SMEs. No separate lots or multiple awards are identified. The award value and contract period are stated for this individual requirement and should not be interpreted as a wider programme or framework value.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research & Innovation for focused project-supervision support delivered by a small consultancy. A credible future competitor would need practical experience supervising projects, maintaining oversight of progress and risks, and providing clear monitoring information to a public research and innovation body. The requirement is suited to a compact professional services team rather than a large operational contractor, and the successful supplier’s SME status shows that smaller firms can meet the buyer’s expectations. Relevant businesses should be able to offer disciplined project governance, reliable reporting, stakeholder coordination and proportionate assurance across a UK-wide service. Experience of public-sector or research-related project environments would strengthen credibility when this buyer next reviews a similar requirement.
