Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement supports the supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction delivery itself. Services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. This is a services contract suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is relevant to consultancies and specialist project-management providers that can supervise projects for a public research and innovation organisation, coordinate delivery and provide structured oversight against agreed project objectives. It is not described as construction work, so firms whose work is limited to physical building or civil engineering delivery may find the requirement less relevant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids were due by 7 August 2026 at 17:00. UK Research & Innovation awarded the contract to Phoenix Performance Solutions on 11 August 2026 for £5,150. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The tender was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system’s call-off process; the published data does not state separate quality or price weightings. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The successful supplier is identified as an SME. The procurement concerns one project-supervision services requirement, with a contract value matching the awarded value.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear indication of UK Research & Innovation’s demand for external project-supervision capability at SME scale. A credible future competitor would need to provide practical project oversight rather than construction delivery, with the capacity to support a UK public-sector project over a sustained period. Familiarity with call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system would be commercially useful, including the ability to respond efficiently to defined requirements and operate within an established purchasing route. Relevant providers are likely to be project-management consultancies and specialist supervision firms able to organise monitoring, coordination, reporting and delivery assurance. The requirement may suit smaller businesses that can offer focused expertise, dependable account management and sufficient continuity for a multi-year service engagement.
