Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for work other than construction. The requirement is recorded under a generic invitation-to-tender title, with no further description of the projects or the specific supervision tasks. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon. Delivery is identified only as taking place in the United Kingdom, rather than at a named site. The procurement is categorised as a service and was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This is a focused project-supervision requirement for UKRI; suppliers whose work is limited to construction project supervision may find the stated service category does not match their offer.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Spark Assessment Services Limited. The award was made on 10 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £6,545, and the contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The tender used a selective process as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 30 July 2026 at 17:00. The stated estimate for the procurement was also £6,545. No lots or evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process information, so the basis used to compare suppliers cannot be described. The award identifies one selected supplier; no separate award values or supplier outcomes are recorded.

This award shows UK Research & Innovation bought project-supervision services through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, and selected a small or medium-sized supplier for a modest, single-year requirement. For suppliers competing for comparable UKRI work in future, relevant project-supervision capability and the ability to deliver the defined service within a focused contract are central to the evidence available here. The process route also matters: experience of qualifying for and participating in the relevant dynamic purchasing system would be commercially pertinent. The recorded scope does not identify a project sector, particular methods, professional accreditations, staffing levels or technical requirements, so there is no basis to infer a specialist discipline or set of credentials. The opportunity is most relevant to SMEs whose services match project supervision outside construction.
