Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work for Project 10190586. The requirement is a service rather than the supply of goods or construction works, and is intended to support project oversight and supervision. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The procurement is categorised as services and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, John Heywood Consulting, is also recorded as an SME. This indicates a focused professional-services requirement that could suit consultancies and independent project-management specialists with experience supervising publicly funded or research-related projects.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to John Heywood Consulting on 1 July 2026. The awarded value is £7,032.50. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The submission deadline was 17 June 2026 at 5pm. It used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than an open competition. The award was for the project-supervision service as a single requirement; no separate lots are identified. The outcome was evaluated through the process used for the dynamic purchasing system call-off. The active award is held by John Heywood Consulting, an SME, and the tender itself is recorded as complete.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting UK Research & Innovation’s project-supervision requirements. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate practical project oversight capability, including the experience and judgement to supervise delivery, monitor progress and support effective project control. The opportunity suited an SME, so a smaller consultancy or specialist independent practice could be positioned competitively where it can evidence relevant results and reliable delivery. Suppliers should also be able to operate through a dynamic purchasing system call-off and respond to selective procurement processes. Experience working with public-sector, research, innovation or grant-funded projects would help a business show that it understands the governance, reporting and stakeholder requirements associated with this type of assignment.
