Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) bought project supervision services for a project, covering supervision outside construction work. The procurement is described only at project level, with no further detail about the specific supervision activities or project purpose. The buyer is UKRI, based in Swindon, and the delivery location is stated as the United Kingdom. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction works.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. UKRI used a selective procedure, calling off the requirement from a dynamic purchasing system. Howfar Innovation Ltd was selected for the contract, with an awarded value of £1,520. The award date was 26 August 2026. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The original tender deadline was 22 July 2026 at 17:00. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation criteria or lot structure are stated.

This award shows UKRI buying project-supervision services through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, on a modest, project-specific scale. Howfar Innovation Ltd, an SME, was selected, indicating that smaller suppliers can compete for this type of requirement. A credible competitor for a similar UKRI need would need to demonstrate relevant project-supervision capability and the capacity to deliver a defined service over a limited project period. The published scope gives no specific technical requirements, accreditations or experience thresholds to use as a benchmark, so suppliers should focus on evidence of their ability to supervise projects in the required context rather than assume construction project management is involved.
