Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction supervision. The requirement covers project oversight and supervision for UK Research & Innovation’s projects, with delivery in the United Kingdom. It is a services contract intended for a supplier able to provide structured supervision of project activity, monitor progress and support effective delivery across the buyer’s requirements. The procurement was run by UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, and the selected supplier is GBC, an SME based in Northamptonshire. The stated classification is CPV 79421100. This opportunity is therefore relevant to project-management and project-supervision consultancies with experience supporting public-sector or research-related projects, rather than construction contractors delivering physical works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to GBC on 19 May 2026. The award value is £26,800. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2028. The tender closed for submissions on 7 May 2026 at 5pm. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than an open standalone tender. The contract was evaluated through that dynamic purchasing system route; the available award information does not state a separate price or quality weighting. The requirement was classified as services, with a total estimated tender value of £26,800. UK Research & Innovation identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. GBC is the sole recorded awardee.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research & Innovation for specialist project-supervision capability delivered over a substantial period, at a scale that can suit an SME consultancy. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can oversee projects systematically, track delivery and progress, identify issues, and provide clear reporting and assurance to a public research and innovation organisation. Experience in project governance, programme monitoring and stakeholder management would strengthen a supplier’s position, particularly where work involves several projects or technical stakeholders. Suppliers should also understand how to operate through a dynamic purchasing system and respond to selective call-offs, as this was the route used here. Relevant evidence would include comparable project-supervision assignments, reliable delivery controls and the capacity to support UK-wide requirements.
