Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work (CPV 79421100) for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement concerns supervising and overseeing project activity, rather than constructing or supplying physical works. It is classified as a services contract and forms part of UKRI’s project delivery and management needs. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the buyer considered the scope capable of being delivered by an SME-sized provider. The selected supplier, Light Touch UK, is based in Halesowen in the West Midlands and is itself classified as an SME. The buyer is UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, England.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 8 May 2026 at 5:00 pm. UK Research and Innovation awarded the contract to Light Touch UK on 29 May 2026 for £9,468. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The award is active, and the awarded value is the same as the tender’s stated value. The contracting route therefore involved selecting a supplier from an existing dynamic purchasing system rather than running an unrestricted competition. The procurement was evaluated as a project-supervision services requirement, with the published information identifying the service category and delivery in the United Kingdom.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for specialist project-supervision capability delivered by an SME-sized supplier. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to manage and oversee projects effectively, maintain clear governance and reporting, and provide reliable coordination throughout a multi-year engagement. Relevant experience should cover project supervision outside construction, with the organisational capacity to support UK-wide delivery and work within a public-sector purchasing environment. Familiarity with dynamic purchasing systems and call-off competitions would help a supplier respond through the buyer’s established route. The opportunity is commercially relevant to consultancies and project-management firms that can provide structured oversight, dependable delivery and suitably experienced personnel without relying on construction supervision as their core offer.
