Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for work outside construction, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement covers supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction delivery itself. The service is to be delivered in the United Kingdom, for UKRI as the buying organisation. This is a professional services opportunity suited to consultants or small specialist firms providing structured project monitoring, coordination and oversight. The procurement identifies the requirement as a services contract and records UKRI’s base in Swindon, England. The selected supplier, A Gunn Consulting, is based in Uddingston, Glasgow, showing that delivery is not limited to the buyer’s locality and may be suitable for firms operating elsewhere in the UK.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender closed on 20 May 2026 at 17:00, and the contract was awarded to A Gunn Consulting on 29 May 2026. The awarded value is £2,790. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. UKRI’s stated suitability assessment identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. One supplier is recorded for the award. The process is complete, with an active award, and the selected supplier is A Gunn Consulting. The stated procurement category is services.

This award shows UKRI buying a compact, defined project-supervision service through its dynamic purchasing system, at a scale that can be delivered by a small specialist consultancy. Businesses positioned for comparable UKRI work should be able to provide disciplined project oversight, coordination, progress monitoring and clear reporting for non-construction projects. Credibility is likely to come from demonstrable experience supervising projects, managing delivery risks, maintaining records and communicating effectively with public-sector stakeholders. The opportunity is expressly suitable for SMEs, so a smaller consultancy can be commercially relevant where it can show dependable delivery capacity and a proportionate, professional approach. Firms already able to access and respond through a dynamic purchasing system would be well placed to compete for similar requirements from this buyer.
