Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction supervision, for projects identified as 10185686. The requirement is a services contract delivered in the United Kingdom. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The work concerns supervising or overseeing project activity rather than construction work, making it relevant to firms that provide project management support, project monitoring or related supervision services. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The selected supplier was Allotrope Scientific Ltd, an SME based in Durham, indicating that the requirement could be delivered by a smaller specialist business.

This procurement is complete and was awarded to Allotrope Scientific Ltd on 3 June 2026. The awarded contract value is £2,775. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 November 2026. The tender submission deadline was 20 May 2026 at 5pm. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The procurement was for services and had a total estimated value of £2,775. The award is active. The published information identifies one awarded supplier and one requirement, with the contract covering project-supervision services in the United Kingdom. No separate lots or additional award criteria are identified in the procurement information.

This award shows UK Research & Innovation’s demand for focused project-supervision support that can be delivered by an SME. Businesses considering comparable future requirements would need a clear capability to supervise projects, monitor progress and provide structured oversight for a public research and innovation organisation. The small awarded value and single requirement suggest a compact, specialist assignment rather than a large delivery programme, so firms with proportionate capacity and low overheads may be well placed. Experience of working with public-sector clients, reliable reporting and the ability to manage project activity across the United Kingdom would strengthen credibility. Suppliers should also be able to access the relevant dynamic purchasing system and compete through its call-off route.
