Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work for Project 10185461. The requirement falls within the services category and covers delivery in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The work is therefore relevant to businesses providing professional project oversight, coordination and supervision for research, innovation or other publicly funded activities, where the service does not involve construction supervision. The procurement was structured as a single service requirement for the buyer rather than a broader works or goods contract. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by an appropriately capable specialist business rather than only by a large corporate provider.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids were due by 23 April 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded to Allotrope Scientific Ltd on 13 May 2026. The awarded value is £6,675 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £6,675. The requirement was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system call-off procedure, with the completed procurement resulting in one active award to the named supplier. The contract covers project-supervision services other than construction work for UK Research & Innovation.

This award is useful market evidence for SMEs that provide structured project supervision and delivery oversight to UK research and innovation organisations. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in managing projects, coordinating stakeholders, monitoring progress and providing clear reporting against agreed requirements. Experience of working with publicly funded, research-led or innovation-focused programmes would help a supplier understand governance, assurance and delivery expectations. The requirement is suited to a focused specialist provider able to deliver professional services across the United Kingdom, rather than a business whose main offer is construction works or goods supply. Familiarity with dynamic purchasing systems and their call-off competitions would also be commercially relevant when pursuing comparable requirements from this buyer.
