Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for a UK-wide requirement. The work is classified as project supervision other than construction supervision, so it is relevant to consultancies and specialist project-management providers supporting the oversight, coordination and control of non-construction projects. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon, England. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction works. Its stated scope is limited to project-supervision services, with the underlying project identified as Project 10197109. Businesses with experience managing public-sector projects, providing structured oversight and reporting, and working with research or innovation organisations are the most directly aligned potential suppliers for comparable requirements.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 8 June 2026 at 5pm, and the award decision was made on 16 June 2026. John Heywood Consulting was awarded the contract for £13,805. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2031. The procurement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information identifies one service requirement and does not set out separate lots. The award is active, with UK Research & Innovation as the buyer and John Heywood Consulting as the selected supplier.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a useful indicator of UK Research & Innovation’s demand for externally supplied project-supervision capability. A credible future competitor would need to provide experienced project managers who can oversee non-construction projects, maintain delivery controls, coordinate stakeholders, monitor progress and risks, and produce clear management information for a public-sector buyer. The requirement is suited to an SME consultancy rather than only a large systems integrator, indicating that a focused provider with proportionate capacity may be competitive. Relevant evidence would include successful supervision of comparable projects, dependable governance and reporting processes, and the ability to work within a dynamic purchasing system call-off route.
