Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services for seven projects identified as 10186196, 10185807, 10184750, 10182239, 10183158, 10185727 and 10183007. The requirement covers supervision and oversight of projects other than construction work, delivered in the United Kingdom. It is a services contract for a public research and innovation organisation, with the work supporting the management and delivery of multiple projects rather than a single construction programme. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Science Developments Ltd, is itself recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement could be delivered by a suitably sized specialist consultancy with the relevant project-supervision capability.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Science Developments Ltd on 4 June 2026. The award value was £22,798.50. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 20 May 2026 at 5pm. UK Research and Innovation used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and covered the seven listed projects as a single requirement. The awarded contract value is the same as the stated tender value of £22,798.50. The award is active, with the contract period beginning after the award decision and ending in March 2027.

This award is useful market evidence for consultancies that provide project supervision, monitoring or delivery assurance for public research and innovation programmes. A credible competitor would need to oversee several projects at once, provide clear progress and risk reporting, coordinate with public-sector stakeholders and maintain reliable administrative control across a portfolio. The buyer accepted an SME supplier, so the requirement can be relevant to smaller specialist firms as well as larger professional-services businesses. Experience outside construction supervision is particularly relevant: the stated service category concerns project supervision for other types of work. Firms tracking UK Research and Innovation should use this requirement to assess their portfolio-management capability, public-sector reporting standards and ability to support multiple concurrent projects.
