Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services for six projects, covering projects 10184579, 10184926, 10184541, 10181841, 10184595 and 10185296. The requirement is for professional oversight and coordination of projects rather than construction work itself. It falls within the services category and is classified under CPV 79421100, project-supervision services other than for construction work. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to consultancy and professional services firms with experience supervising multiple public-sector or research-related projects.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded to Merralls Consulting Limited on 27 September 2026 for £32,978.50. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The requirement covered six projects under one award. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement for project supervision, with the available procurement information identifying the call-off route and the scope of work rather than setting out separate evaluation weightings. The award is active, and the selected supplier is a small and medium-sized enterprise.

This procurement indicates demand from UK Research and Innovation for an external consultancy able to supervise several projects within a single assignment. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical project-supervision capability, strong coordination across multiple workstreams and the capacity to support delivery over a sustained period. The work is relevant to small and medium-sized consultancies providing project management, programme oversight or related professional services, particularly those able to work across the United Kingdom. Experience handling research, innovation or public-sector projects would help demonstrate relevance, while the successful award to a specialist SME shows that this scale of requirement can be delivered by a smaller consultancy rather than only a large national provider.
