Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement concerns supervision and oversight of a project, rather than construction activity itself. It is a services contract managed by UK Research & Innovation, whose registered address is in Swindon, England. The procurement relates to Project 10185170 and was structured as a call-off requirement for a defined project-supervision assignment. Businesses operating in project management, project oversight, programme support or related professional services may find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can supervise project delivery for a public research and innovation organisation across the UK.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure, using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The submission deadline was 23 April 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded to S L S Darling Limited on 11 May 2026. The awarded value is £5,050. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The successful supplier is an active award recipient, and the tender was assessed within the dynamic purchasing system route. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research & Innovation for external project-supervision support delivered over a sustained contract period. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical capability in supervising projects, monitoring progress, coordinating delivery activity and providing clear oversight to the client. Experience of working with public-sector, research or innovation projects would help demonstrate understanding of governance, reporting and accountability requirements. The buyer considered the requirement suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist consultancy or project-management business could be well placed where it can provide dependable professional staff and proportionate administrative capacity. Familiarity with dynamic purchasing systems and their call-off competitions would also be commercially relevant.
