Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation commissioned project-supervision services for Project 10209381. The work is classified as professional project supervision rather than construction management, and is procured as a service. The buyer is UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom, with no more specific place identified. The procurement description gives the project reference but does not describe particular supervision tasks or outputs, so the requirement should be understood as project-supervision support for this named project rather than a broader construction or consultancy package.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research and Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Howfar Innovation Ltd was selected, with an awarded value of £7,665. The award was made on 14 September 2026. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2030. The procurement estimate was also £7,665. The submission deadline was 3 September 2026 at 5pm. This is a single project requirement, with no separate lots stated. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. The published details give no assessment weighting or specific evaluation criteria beyond the procurement route and service classification.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for project-supervision services within UK Research and Innovation, delivered through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. A future competitor would need to be eligible to compete through the relevant system and able to provide credible supervision support for a specific project. The buyer selected Howfar Innovation Ltd, which is identified as an SME, showing that a smaller supplier was capable of winning this requirement. The stated procurement value indicates a modest, focused piece of work rather than a large multi-lot programme. Suppliers whose project-supervision offer is suited to discrete assignments and who can operate within a dynamic purchasing system are the closest fit. The published scope does not identify particular technical specialisms, accreditations or capacity requirements.
