Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work for Project 10196458. The requirement is categorised as a professional project-management and supervision service, rather than construction delivery itself. The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation. The procurement sits within the research and innovation sector, so relevant suppliers are likely to support the buyer with oversight, coordination, reporting and control of project activity. The stated requirement is a service opportunity for organisations experienced in supervising projects and providing structured management support across a UK delivery context.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 2 July 2026 to John Heywood Consulting. The awarded value is £4,122.50. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. Bids closed at 17:00 on 17 June 2026. The route was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than an open standalone tender. The procurement was for services and was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available outcome identifies John Heywood Consulting as the successful supplier. The contract therefore represents a completed award for a one-year project-supervision requirement for UK Research & Innovation.

For competitors, this award is evidence that UK Research & Innovation buys focused project-supervision support through its dynamic purchasing system, including requirements that can be delivered by an SME. A credible future supplier would need practical project-management capability, strong supervision and coordination skills, and the ability to provide clear oversight of project progress. It would also need to work effectively with a public research and innovation organisation, maintain reliable reporting and governance, and manage delivery across the United Kingdom. The relatively focused requirement suits a specialist consultancy or small project-management practice rather than a supplier whose offer depends on construction delivery, large-scale works or extensive physical resources.
