Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England, has completed a procurement process under a contract for project-supervision services not related to construction work. The procurement falls within the services category and took the form of a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, a selective method, with a total value of £1,200. The tender process, initiated as an invitation to tender (ITT), advanced to the award stage on 12 September 2025. The contract period is set to commence on 1 December 2025 and conclude on 31 May 2026. Opportunities were specifically aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), providing a focused procurement effort for this business scale.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for SMEs specializing in project-supervision services, which can offer their expertise outside the construction sector. With the contract awarded to Wilton Consulting, based in Essex, it showcases the potential for smaller consultancy firms to secure government contracts under selective procurement methods. Engaging in such contracts can provide SMEs with steady revenue streams and enhance their portfolios, positioning them favourably for future contracts of a similar nature. The focused opportunity allows SMEs to leverage their agility and specialized expertise to deliver quality service to influential organisations like UK Research & Innovation.
