Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than for construction work (CPV 79421100). The tender identifies a single service item, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement title refers to Project 10206325, but no further description of the project or supervision tasks is provided. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction works, and the stated delivery country is the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is identified.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Frith & Frost Ltd. The award date was 27 August 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £2,760. The original estimated procurement value was also £2,760. The buyer used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 5pm UK time. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published information gives no award scoring criteria or further selection requirements, so the stated outcome identifies the selected supplier and value but does not set out how bids were evaluated.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation buys project-supervision services through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, including requirements described as supervision outside construction. Frith & Frost Ltd, an SME, was selected for this assignment. Suppliers interested in similar future requirements would be most credible with demonstrable project-supervision capability and the capacity to deliver a defined service assignment for a UK-wide buyer. The available description does not establish a particular project specialism, technical accreditation or staffing profile, so the evidence points to relevant supervision experience and reliable delivery rather than a specific qualification. The recorded award is modest in scale, making it useful evidence for smaller service providers assessing whether UKRI's route and type of requirement fit their business.
