Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for a project, classified as project supervision outside construction. The requirement is described as an invitation to tender for Project 10183640; no further breakdown of the supervision work is provided. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon. The listed delivery location is the United Kingdom, without a more specific place. This is a services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The contract was awarded to an individual supplier, indicating that this procurement covered a defined project-supervision assignment rather than a stated programme of multiple work packages.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Dr Don Cardy. The award date was 18 September 2026. The awarded value is £5,180. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028. The procurement was a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, using a selective procedure. The estimated procurement value was also £5,180. Bids were due by 14 September 2026 at 5pm. The tender was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the award is active. No lots are described. The published data does not give detailed scoring criteria for selecting the supplier.

This award demonstrates a small-scale requirement from UK Research & Innovation for project-supervision services outside construction, delivered over a defined assignment. The selected supplier was an SME, so a smaller consultancy or independent specialist could be credible for a comparable requirement, provided it can offer relevant project-supervision expertise and capacity to support the work across the contract term. The purchasing route was a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, making access to the relevant system and ability to compete in its call-offs commercially important. The brief provides no specific accreditation, staffing profile or technical standard to replicate. Suppliers positioning for a similar requirement should therefore focus on evidence of project oversight experience, dependable delivery and fit with UK Research & Innovation’s project needs, rather than assuming construction supervision or a broader programme-management scope.
