Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation bought project-supervision services for work other than construction, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement supports the supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction delivery itself. The service is categorised as professional services and was to be delivered in the United Kingdom. UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, was the buying organisation. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the requirement was sized and structured to allow an SME supplier to perform it. It was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The selected supplier, THEOOO, is an SME based in Staffordshire, showing that delivery was not limited to a supplier located in the buyer’s immediate area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to THEOOO on 22 June 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 17 June 2026 at 5pm. The award value was £2,275. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The award was active, and the contract covers project-supervision services other than construction work for UK Research & Innovation. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one requirement. The procurement was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system call-off route; the available award information does not set out separate quality, technical or price weightings.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of UK Research & Innovation buying a small, focused project-supervision assignment through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate practical project oversight capability, reliable management of project activity and the ability to provide professional supervision services without relying on construction delivery. The SME suitability indicates that smaller specialist consultancies can be relevant, provided they can show dependable capacity, clear reporting and experience managing project risks, progress and stakeholders. Familiarity with dynamic purchasing system call-offs would also be commercially useful, as would the ability to respond to concise requirements and deliver effectively across the United Kingdom.
