Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project supervision services unrelated to construction work. The requirement is identified only as Project 10207114, so its specific project, supervision tasks and intended outcomes cannot be described further. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England, and the service is associated with the United Kingdom. This is a professional services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. The published classification is CPV 79421100, covering project-supervision services other than for construction work. The procurement was aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises, making the requirement relevant to specialist consultancies and independent project-management providers serving research and innovation programmes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to AurumGold Limited. UK Research & Innovation used a selective process, making the call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 12 August 2026. The awarded value is £6,300. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The tender deadline was 5 August 2026. The requirement was treated as a single service package; no lot-by-lot awards are recorded. The available procurement information does not describe evaluation criteria or specific eligibility conditions beyond SME suitability. The selected supplier is itself recorded as an SME. The award is active, and the contract period is stated, but no separate contract-signing date is recorded.

This award demonstrates UK Research & Innovation’s demand for project supervision outside construction, procured through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The awarded supplier is an SME, and the opportunity was expressly suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist providers can compete for this scale of requirement. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to show it can supervise and coordinate a defined project for a public research and innovation organisation, with delivery appropriate to a UK-wide service. The available requirement does not identify particular professional accreditations, technical tools, staffing levels or prior-sector experience, so those cannot be presented as buyer requirements. Providers with demonstrable project-supervision capability and an ability to deliver a relatively contained service package are the closest fit.
