Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation bought project-supervision services, other than construction project supervision, for work delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement falls within the services category and is classified under CPV 79421100. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The work is associated with project oversight and supervision rather than construction delivery itself. This is a focused professional-services requirement for a supplier able to support the buyer’s projects through supervision activities across the UK. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the requirement was intended to be accessible to businesses with the relevant specialist service capability.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 6 August 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded to Helix Projects Limited on 14 August 2026. The awarded value is £7,370. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The award is active and covers the full requirement. The procedure selected suppliers from the dynamic purchasing system rather than using an open competition. The published outcome identifies Helix Projects Limited as the successful supplier. The procurement was assessed as suitable for SMEs, while participation was not identified as being reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of UK Research & Innovation’s demand for small-scale, specialist project-supervision support. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate practical experience supervising projects, reliable project controls, and the ability to provide clear oversight and reporting to a public-sector research and innovation organisation. Suppliers should be able to work across the United Kingdom and operate effectively within a dynamic purchasing system call-off route. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business rather than only a large consultancy. Relevant project-supervision experience and dependable delivery would therefore be central to competing effectively.
