Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for four projects, identified as 10193967, 10193938, 10193949 and 10192827. The requirement falls within project management and supervision services outside construction. It is a services contract intended to oversee or support project delivery rather than construction works themselves. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist consultancies and independent project-management providers as well as larger professional-services businesses. The four-project scope indicates a requirement to manage or supervise several assignments under one procurement, although the available description does not set out their individual subject matter or technical disciplines.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 12 March 2026 at 17:00 UTC, and the award decision was dated 20 March 2026. Sandhills Management Consultancy Limited was selected for £6,410. The awarded contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 July 2026. The tender’s estimated value was also £6,410. Evaluation was for project-supervision services under the stated requirement, with the procurement classified as services. The award is active. The published outcome therefore records a single supplier and a single awarded value for the four-project requirement, rather than separate awards for each project.

This award is useful market evidence for project-management and supervision consultancies tracking UK Research & Innovation. It shows the buyer uses a dynamic purchasing system to obtain short, focused assignments covering several projects together, and that an SME consultancy was selected for this requirement. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable experience supervising projects outside construction, the capacity to coordinate multiple assignments within a single engagement, and the people and management controls to provide reliable oversight across the United Kingdom. Familiarity with dynamic purchasing system call-offs and the ability to respond to selective opportunities would also be commercially relevant. The requirement is suited to a focused specialist provider that can deliver practical project supervision without the scale of a major construction-management operation.
