Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process described involves UK Research & Innovation (UKRI), located in Swindon, England, for a project pertaining to the provision of project-supervision services classified under CPV code 79421100. This process was completed under the 'award' stage, with the contract being awarded to HOWFAR INNOVATION LTD, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Hampshire. The procurement method used was 'selective', specifically through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Key dates include a tender period that ended on 10th June 2026, and a contract period running from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2029. The total contract value is £6,580.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for SMEs specialised in non-construction project-supervision services. As the procurement was conducted through a dynamic purchasing system, businesses already part of or can join such frameworks are well-placed to benefit. The detailed involvement with UKRI, a significant national body, provides an avenue for enhancing business credibility and gaining further project exposure. This invitation to tender emphasises the suitability and preference for SMEs, which can leverage such contracts to expand their portfolio and establish long-term client relationships in the public sector.
