Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, covering projects 10181399, 10186145 and 10184181. The requirement is a services contract for supervising and supporting project delivery rather than carrying out construction. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, the public body responsible for the procurement. The opportunity is relevant to consultancies and specialist service providers that manage, coordinate or oversee projects for public-sector or research-related organisations. It is also potentially relevant to smaller businesses: the procurement identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The named service category is project supervision, with CPV classification 79421100.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded to Prism Nova Limited on 29 May 2026 for £4,650. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. Bids had to be submitted by 29 May 2026 at 5:00 pm. UK Research & Innovation is the buyer. The recorded award is active, and the selected supplier is Prism Nova Limited, an SME. The procurement used a selective procedure under the dynamic purchasing system rather than an open standalone tender. The award and contract value are both £4,650. The published information identifies the requirement as services and records the tender as complete.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a useful benchmark for firms targeting similar work from UK Research & Innovation. A credible competitor would need demonstrable capability in supervising projects outside the construction sector, coordinating delivery across several project requirements and providing concise, dependable oversight for a time-limited assignment. The small contract size and stated SME suitability indicate that the buyer can use this route for focused specialist support rather than only large consultancy engagements. Suppliers should also understand how to qualify for and operate through a dynamic purchasing system, including responding to selective call-offs. Relevant experience in public-sector, research, innovation or technically complex project environments would help show that the business can manage stakeholders, monitor progress and report clearly against agreed objectives.
