Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is a professional services assignment supporting the supervision and management of a project rather than construction activity itself. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with UKRI as the buying organisation. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so the requirement is relevant to specialist project-management consultancies and smaller professional services firms as well as larger providers. The selected supplier, DNA IOT Limited, is an SME based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, indicating that the work can be delivered by a focused specialist business rather than only a major national contractor.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 3 July 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded to DNA IOT Limited on 8 July 2026. The awarded value is £6,474 excluding any further treatment of tax or other costs. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 January 2028. The tender was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system call-off process; the available record does not set out separate quality, price or other award-criteria weightings. The contract covers services in the United Kingdom and the process status is complete.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from UK Research & Innovation for specialist project-supervision capability outside construction, delivered through a dynamic purchasing system. A credible future competitor would need to show practical experience supervising projects, coordinating delivery activity, monitoring progress and supporting effective project control. The opportunity is well suited to an SME with a focused project-management service, rather than requiring the scale of a large construction organisation. Businesses should be able to evidence reliable delivery for a public-sector research and innovation buyer, explain how they manage governance, reporting, risks and dependencies, and provide suitably experienced personnel. Familiarity with dynamic purchasing system call-offs and concise, proportionate tender responses would also be commercially relevant.
