Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services for projects 10186469 and 10184661. The requirement falls within professional project management and supervision services, specifically supervision of projects other than construction work. Delivery was required in the United Kingdom. This was a services procurement for UKRI, the public research and innovation organisation. The work concerned oversight and supervision associated with the two named projects, rather than construction delivery itself. It may therefore be relevant to consultancies and project-management firms that provide structured supervision, coordination and monitoring for public-sector or research-related projects. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially relevant to smaller specialist providers with an appropriate project-supervision offer.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded to Prism Nova Limited on 22 June 2026 for £3,100. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 17:00 on 17 June 2026. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The award covers the full stated requirement for project-supervision services relating to projects 10186469 and 10184661. The process used a dynamic purchasing system call-off route, so suppliers competing for comparable requirements would need to understand that purchasing mechanism and its qualification requirements. The award status is active.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear indication of UK Research and Innovation’s demand for externally delivered project-supervision services. Competitors considering similar future requirements would need a credible ability to supervise and coordinate projects outside the construction sector, with a service model suited to a public research and innovation buyer. The procurement also shows that UKRI uses selective call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system for this type of work, so relevant suppliers would benefit from being able to operate through that route and respond to defined project requirements. Its suitability for SMEs indicates that a smaller specialist consultancy can be commercially credible, provided it can demonstrate reliable project oversight, clear reporting and the capacity to support more than one related project.
