Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services for six named projects: 10193885, 10194072, 10194599, 10194642, 10195913 and 10199134. The requirement covers supervision and oversight of projects rather than construction work, under CPV 79421100. It is a professional services contract, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The buyer is UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon. The work is relevant to suppliers providing project supervision, project monitoring or related management support for public-sector research and innovation programmes. The requirement was structured as one service package covering the six projects, rather than separate lots. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially relevant to specialist consultancies and independent project-management providers with the capacity to oversee several concurrent assignments.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 1 July 2026 at 17:00. UK Research and Innovation awarded the contract to David Thom trading as DWTDATA on 30 July 2026. The awarded value is £28,700. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The award is active. The procurement was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system call-off route; the published data identifies the requirement as project-supervision services and records SME suitability. One supplier is named for the award, and the award covers the six projects listed in the requirement. The outcome demonstrates that the buyer selected a specialist provider for this defined project-supervision package.

For a supplier assessing future demand from UK Research and Innovation, this award shows a need for focused project-supervision support across multiple research and innovation projects. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate practical methods for overseeing project progress, coordinating stakeholders, monitoring delivery and reporting clear findings to a public-sector buyer. The requirement is suitable for an SME-scale specialist rather than only a large national consultancy, but the provider must still have sufficient capacity to manage several assignments within one service package. Experience supervising publicly funded, research, innovation or similarly governed projects would strengthen a future proposition, alongside disciplined project controls, reliable written reporting and the ability to work across the United Kingdom. The dynamic purchasing system call-off route is also relevant to suppliers seeking this buyer’s recurring professional-services work.
