Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) procured project management support services for its requirements in Swindon and the wider South East of England. The work is classified as construction project management services and concerns the provision of project management support under UKRI reference 3652. UKRI is the buying organisation, with the requirement associated with its site at Polaris House, North Star Avenue, Swindon. This is a services contract rather than a supply of goods or construction works. Businesses relevant to this requirement are those providing construction-related project management and professional support services for public-sector or research-organisation projects.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was a selective direct-award call-off from a framework agreement, with tenders due by 31 July 2026 at 12:00. UKRI awarded the contract to AtkinsRéalis PPS Limited on 31 July 2026. The awarded value is £75,066, and the contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement covers a single service requirement rather than separately described lots. Participation was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the opportunity demonstrates that UKRI purchases specialist construction project management support through framework call-offs. A credible future competitor would need the professional capability to manage construction-related projects and provide structured project management support to a research and innovation organisation. It would also need access to the relevant framework route, since this requirement was awarded through a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender. The selected supplier provides a useful benchmark for the type of established project management provider UKRI accepts for this work. Businesses should focus on demonstrable delivery capability, suitable project-management resources and experience supporting complex institutional estates or construction programmes.
