Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is for professional oversight and coordination of a project rather than construction delivery itself. Services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom for UK Research and Innovation, the public research and innovation organisation that will use and fund the work. The procurement falls within the services category and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was a single requirement, covering project supervision as a whole rather than separately identified goods, works or service packages. Businesses offering project management, supervision, governance, monitoring or related coordination services may therefore find the requirement relevant, particularly where they support publicly funded research or innovation projects.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 6 August 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to Cursive Thought Ltd on 14 August 2026 for £5,792. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The awarded value and contract period are the same as those published for the requirement. The selected supplier is recorded as an active award recipient. The procurement information identifies project-supervision services as the subject and confirms that the competition was run through the dynamic purchasing system route. No separate lots or additional awarded suppliers are identified.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for a focused project-supervision service delivered over a multi-year period, with a relatively contained requirement suitable for an SME. A credible competitor for similar work would need to provide dependable project oversight, structured monitoring, coordination and reporting, with the organisational discipline to support a public research and innovation body. Experience supervising projects outside construction, understanding governance and milestones, and producing clear evidence of progress would strengthen a supplier’s position. The successful supplier was a small enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist business rather than only by a large consultancy. Firms already qualified on the relevant dynamic purchasing system would be particularly well placed to pursue comparable requirements through that route.
