Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services for work other than construction. The requirement is categorised as a service and was delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement concerned project 10194506 and was intended to provide supervision of project activity rather than construction management. The named buying organisation is UK Research and Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon, England. This is a focused professional-services requirement for suppliers that oversee, coordinate or monitor projects in a non-construction setting. Businesses whose core work is project supervision, project monitoring or related project-management support are the most relevant audience. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids closed on 10 June 2026 at 17:00. UK Research and Innovation awarded the contract to Howfar Innovation Ltd on 25 June 2026 for £6,580. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. The awarded supplier is an SME. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £6,580, in GBP. The process was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system call-off route; the available information identifies the requirement as project-supervision services but does not set out detailed quality, price or other scoring criteria. There was one service requirement covering delivery in the United Kingdom.

This award shows that UK Research and Innovation uses a dynamic purchasing system to source focused project-supervision services from the SME market. A credible future competitor would need a demonstrable ability to supervise, monitor or coordinate projects outside construction, with delivery capability across the United Kingdom. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only by a large consultancy. Relevant firms should be able to present clear evidence of project-supervision experience, reliable monitoring and reporting practices, and sufficient resources to support a public-sector research and innovation buyer. Businesses already qualified for, or able to access, the relevant dynamic purchasing system route would be best placed to compete when comparable work returns.
