Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation commissioned project-supervision services other than construction supervision, for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement is a professional services assignment supporting oversight and management of a project rather than construction works themselves. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The procurement is categorised as a service and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The appointed supplier, A Gunn Consulting, is a small or medium-sized business based in Uddingston, Glasgow. This indicates a focused project-supervision requirement that can be delivered by a specialist consultancy, including an SME, rather than a large-scale construction contractor or general goods supplier. The relevant commercial capability is project supervision and associated oversight expertise for UK Research & Innovation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure, calling off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 26 August 2026 at 17:00. A Gunn Consulting was awarded the contract on 3 September 2026 for GBP 4,215. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The award is active, and the award value and contract period are the same as the estimated tender value and stated contract period. The opportunity was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system call-off route. It was structured as a single project-supervision services requirement for work in the United Kingdom, with SME suitability recorded. The award outcome provides a clear reference point for the buyer’s procurement route and expected contract scale.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it demonstrates that UK Research & Innovation uses a dynamic purchasing system to obtain specialist project-supervision services through selective call-offs. It also shows that the requirement can be met by a small or medium-sized consultancy, rather than only by a large corporate provider. A credible future competitor would therefore need to offer focused project supervision for UK public-sector work, understand how to operate within a dynamic purchasing system, and be able to deliver a defined assignment for this buyer at modest scale. Relevant firms are likely to be specialist project-management or project-supervision consultancies with the operational discipline to oversee project activity, provide reliable reporting and work within UK Research & Innovation’s procurement arrangements.
