Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation commissioned project-supervision services for three projects, identified in the procurement as projects 10197112, 10196267 and 10196234. The work falls within professional project management and supervision services other than construction supervision, and is classed as a service requirement. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buyer is UK Research and Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon, England. The requirement is therefore relevant to consultancies and project-management providers able to oversee and supervise multiple public-sector projects, rather than construction contractors or suppliers of physical goods. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that delivery was intended to be accessible to an appropriately capable smaller consultancy.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research and Innovation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 20 May 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded on 29 May 2026 to Sandhills Management Consultancy Limited for £6,720. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The award is active and covers the same three project-supervision requirements. The recorded procurement category is services. The available information identifies the service classification and procurement route, but does not set out separate lots or a detailed scoring model for the evaluation.

For competitors, this award demonstrates UK Research and Innovation’s use of a dynamic purchasing system to procure discrete project-supervision assignments from an SME consultancy. A credible future supplier would need experience in supervising or managing projects, with the organisational capacity to support several related assignments and provide reliable oversight throughout a defined service period. The requirement is suited to a specialist consultancy rather than a product supplier or construction business. Businesses seeking comparable work should be able to demonstrate clear project-management methods, competent personnel, dependable reporting and the ability to operate for a UK public-sector buyer. Familiarity with selective DPS call-offs would also be commercially relevant when pursuing similar requirements from this buyer.
