Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction supervision, under a requirement identified as Project 10198439. The work is classified as project supervision and is a service rather than goods or construction works. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation. The requirement is relevant to consultancies and individual providers that oversee projects, coordinate delivery, monitor progress and provide project-management assurance outside the construction sector. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the buyer considered the requirement accessible to businesses below large-corporate scale. The appointed provider was John Heywood Consulting, a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Macclesfield.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 17 June 2026 at 5pm. John Heywood Consulting received the award on 30 June 2026 for £10,250. The awarded contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award is active. The evaluation basis is not stated in the available procurement information. This was a single requirement rather than a procurement divided into separately described lots. The award demonstrates that the buyer uses its dynamic purchasing system to appoint project-supervision specialists for defined assignments delivered in the United Kingdom.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement provides a clear example of demand from UK Research & Innovation for specialist project supervision outside construction. A credible competitor would need practical project-management capability, including planning and coordinating work, monitoring delivery against objectives, identifying issues and risks, maintaining clear records, and reporting progress to a public-sector client. Experience of supervising projects in a research, innovation or similarly complex environment would help demonstrate relevance, particularly where several stakeholders, deliverables or dependencies must be managed. The successful supplier was an SME, so a smaller consultancy with focused expertise can compete for this type of work. Familiarity with dynamic purchasing system call-offs and the discipline to respond to defined requirements would also be important.
