Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for two projects. The work is classified as project-supervision services other than for construction, indicating oversight and coordination rather than construction delivery. The procurement identifies the projects only by internal reference numbers, without describing their subject or setting out specific tasks, so the requirement is best suited to providers of project supervision able to work across the buyer’s project portfolio. The stated delivery country is the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is identified. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation. The service is categorised as a procurement of services, rather than goods or works.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Flint Innovation Ltd. The award was made on 21 September 2026 for £7,130, with a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 June 2027. The original estimated procurement value was also £7,130. The requirement covered two projects and was conducted as a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The submission deadline was 26 August 2026 at 5pm. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No award-scoring criteria or separate technical or price evaluation basis are recorded in the available process details, so the basis on which competing suppliers were assessed cannot be summarised.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation buys project-supervision support for individual projects through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than describing a standalone construction contract. Flint Innovation Ltd, a small supplier, was selected for work spanning two projects. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar requirements from this buyer would need credible project-supervision capability and the capacity to support more than one project within a single engagement. The available description does not explain the projects’ subject matter or specify particular professional qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or technical methods, so it does not establish a narrower specialism. The award provides a concrete example of demand for project oversight from UK Research & Innovation and the type of small supplier that has previously delivered this requirement.
