Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services, excluding construction supervision, for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement is categorised as a professional service supporting the oversight, coordination and monitoring of a project rather than the physical construction of assets. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation is not identified as being reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The service is therefore relevant to project-management and project-supervision consultancies able to support UKRI-funded or otherwise UK-wide project activity.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 18 May 2026 at 17:00, and the award was made on 28 May 2026. Aviation & Rail Management was selected for an awarded value of £19,200. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2028. The tender’s total stated value was also £19,200. The available procurement information identifies the service category and delivery country, but does not set out lots or a separate evaluation weighting. The award is active and relates to a single supplier.

This award shows UK Research & Innovation’s demand for specialist project-supervision services delivered through a dynamic purchasing system. A credible future competitor would need practical experience supervising projects other than construction, with the ability to coordinate activity, monitor progress, manage issues and provide clear oversight to a public-sector client. The requirement is proportionate to an SME consultancy, so a smaller specialist provider may be well placed where it can demonstrate dependable project-management capability and sufficient capacity to deliver across the United Kingdom. Familiarity with call-offs from dynamic purchasing systems would also help a supplier understand the route used for this type of requirement and prepare responsive evidence when comparable work returns.
