Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for a project identified as Project 10196933. The work is classified as project supervision outside construction, rather than construction project management. The contracting data does not describe the project’s specific activities or the supervision tasks, so the requirement is best matched by firms whose core service is project supervision. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is stated. UK Research & Innovation is the buyer. The scope is recorded as a single service requirement, with no further breakdown of deliverables. This procurement therefore relates to professional oversight of a project, not the supply of goods or construction works.

The procurement is complete and awarded. UK Research & Innovation selected SMT Consulting through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, using a selective process. The contract was awarded on 13 August 2026. Its value is £5,815, and the contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 June 2028. The competition deadline was 7 August 2026 at 5pm. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to compete. No evaluation criteria or detailed eligibility requirements are recorded. One supplier is named for the award, and the requirement is presented as a single service rather than separate lots. These details describe the completed award and its contractual scale and duration.

For firms that did not win, this award demonstrates UK Research & Innovation’s demand for project-supervision services through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The selected supplier was identified as an SME, showing that a small firm was able to secure this requirement. A credible competitor when this specific service is next procured would need to demonstrate relevant project-supervision capability and the capacity to oversee the project requirement effectively. The available description does not identify a specialist project sector, technical accreditation or a particular team profile, so the opportunity is most directly relevant to suppliers with project-supervision experience rather than firms offering unrelated consultancy or construction delivery. The award provides a concrete example of the buyer’s chosen route and the modest scale of this service requirement.
