Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is a professional service supporting the supervision, coordination and oversight of projects rather than physical construction activity. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The contracting organisation is UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The procurement is a service contract and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Spark Assessment Services Limited, is also recorded as an SME and is based in Oxford, Oxfordshire. Businesses with experience supervising publicly funded or research-related projects may therefore find this buyer and requirement relevant for future opportunities of a similar type.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research and Innovation used a selective procedure described as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The submission deadline was 8 June 2026 at 5.00pm, and the award was made on 17 June 2026. Spark Assessment Services Limited was awarded the contract for £18,590. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2031. The award is active. The published procurement information identifies project-supervision services as the requirement, with the contract value matching the awarded value. The process was conducted as a single requirement rather than being presented as separate lots, and the outcome records one supplier.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award indicates demand from UK Research and Innovation for externally provided project-supervision expertise delivered across the United Kingdom. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to show strong project oversight, coordination and assessment capability, with the management discipline to support projects over a multi-year service period. Experience working with public sector, research, innovation or grant-funded programmes would help demonstrate understanding of the operating environment, reporting expectations and stakeholder relationships. The opportunity was suitable for an SME and was awarded through a dynamic purchasing system call-off, so businesses seeking comparable work should maintain the relevant supplier capability, evidence of dependable delivery and readiness to participate through that procurement route.
