Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation is the buyer for project-supervision services delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers supervision of a project rather than construction work, within the services category. It is identified under CPV 79421100, covering project-supervision services other than construction work. The stated project reference is Project 10186885. The buying organisation is UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, England. This is a focused professional-services requirement for a supplier able to oversee project activity and provide supervision support across the UK, rather than a supply, construction or physical works contract.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids closed at 5pm on 23 April 2026, and the contract was awarded on 2 May 2026 to Starmed Consult Limited. The awarded value is £7,280 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The tender is recorded as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation is not identified as suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active and covers the full project-supervision requirement.

For a competing supplier, this award demonstrates that UK Research and Innovation purchases specialist project-supervision support through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible future competitor would need practical experience supervising and coordinating projects outside construction, with the personnel and management processes to provide reliable oversight throughout a sustained engagement. UK-wide delivery capability is relevant, as is the ability to work with a research and innovation organisation and maintain clear reporting, governance and communication. The opportunity is suitable for an SME, so a smaller consultancy with demonstrable project-supervision expertise, dependable delivery capacity and evidence of successful comparable assignments could be well placed when this buyer next sources a similar requirement.
