Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work. The requirement covers project oversight and related supervision activity for work delivered in the United Kingdom. It is a services contract intended to support UKRI’s project delivery needs. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller project-management, programme-support and project-supervision businesses with the ability to work across the UK. The named buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon. The service category is project supervision rather than construction itself, so relevant suppliers are likely to provide monitoring, coordination, reporting and delivery oversight for projects managed or funded by the organisation.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 19 May 2026 to GrowthMesh Limited. The award is active and has a value of £5,816. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The tender submission deadline was 7 April 2026 at 5pm. UKRI used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The opportunity was treated as a services procurement and was marked as suitable for SMEs. The award went to a single supplier, GrowthMesh Limited. The published process therefore records both the selection outcome and the two-year delivery period for this project-supervision requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of UKRI buying focused project-supervision support through a dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate practical project oversight, reliable monitoring and reporting, and the capacity to support delivery across the United Kingdom. The requirement is suitable for an SME, so a smaller specialist consultancy can be relevant if it can show proportionate processes, dependable staff and experience managing project controls and stakeholder coordination. Businesses tracking UKRI should understand this buyer’s use of a DPS call-off for a defined supervision requirement and prepare evidence of delivery quality, governance and value for similar requirements when they return to market.
