Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for four projects: 10203730, 10206838, 10203837 and 10206900. The requirement is classified as project-supervision services other than for construction work (CPV 79421100). The contracting process gives no further description of the supervision tasks or project subjects, so the defined scope is limited to project supervision. UK Research & Innovation is the buyer, based in Swindon, England. The work is located in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is identified. This is a services requirement, rather than a purchase of goods or construction works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Frith & Frost Ltd. The award was made on 24 August 2026, for £11,710. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The stated estimated tender value is also £11,710. The procurement used a selective process as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 5pm. The process covers four projects, with no separate lot values or awards recorded. UK Research & Innovation marked the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award record does not set out evaluation criteria or further eligibility requirements.

This award shows demand from UK Research & Innovation for project-supervision services across several projects, on a relatively small, defined contract scale. The selected supplier, Frith & Frost Ltd, is identified as an SME, and the buyer marked the requirement as suitable for SMEs. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate it can supervise projects effectively and deliver across multiple project assignments. The buying route was a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking similar work from this buyer should be positioned to participate through that system. No particular professional accreditation, technical methodology, staffing level or sector experience is stated as a condition of this award.
