Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation bought project-supervision services, classified under CPV 79421100. The procurement is identified only as Project 10205156; no further description explains the project or the supervision tasks. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, and delivery is stated as being in the United Kingdom. The service is categorised as a service rather than goods or works. This requirement concerns project supervision outside construction, so it is relevant to providers of project oversight and supervision services, rather than construction contractors. UK Research & Innovation is the purchasing organisation for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research & Innovation selected Spark Assessment Services Limited. The award was made on 22 September 2026 for £2,050, and the contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. The estimated tender value was also £2,050. The buyer used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The deadline for submissions was 2 September 2026 at 5pm. The procurement was not divided into stated lots. The opportunity was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation criteria or specific selection requirements are described in the available procurement details.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation purchases project-supervision services through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, with a small-scale contract awarded to an SME. A supplier considering similar work for this buyer would need to provide credible project oversight outside construction and be positioned to participate in the relevant purchasing system. The successful supplier demonstrates that an SME can deliver this requirement. The project itself and the detailed supervision tasks are not described, so the commercially relevant capability is project supervision rather than a more specialised technical discipline. This is evidence of a focused service requirement at modest scale, not a broad construction or general consultancy opportunity.
