Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services for projects 10185934 and 10184741. The requirement is classified as project-supervision services other than for construction work (CPV 79421100), within the broader services category. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement was intended to support oversight and supervision of the two named projects rather than construction delivery itself. UK Research and Innovation is the buying organisation. The selected supplier was A Gunn Consulting, an SME based in Uddingston, Glasgow. This is therefore relevant to consultancies and independent project-management providers able to supervise public-sector research or innovation projects across the UK, particularly smaller organisations with capacity for focused assignments involving more than one project.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. UK Research and Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 20 May 2026 at 5pm. The award was made to A Gunn Consulting on 5 June 2026 for £5,400. The awarded contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The wider procurement period is recorded as 5 June to 31 December 2026. The tender was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award was for the full requirement covering both named projects; the published evaluation basis is the selection route through the dynamic purchasing system rather than a separately stated scoring breakdown.

For a supplier that did not win, this award provides a clear example of UK Research and Innovation buying focused project-supervision support for multiple named projects through a dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate practical project oversight, structured monitoring, coordination and reporting, with the ability to supervise research or innovation activity rather than construction work. The opportunity was suitable for an SME, indicating that a smaller consultancy or specialist independent provider can meet this type of requirement without being a large corporate supplier. Businesses should therefore be positioned to respond efficiently to targeted call-offs, show capacity across concurrent projects, and explain how their supervision approach gives UKRI confidence in delivery, governance and progress control.
