Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement supports supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction delivery itself. It is a public-sector services opportunity managed by UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Aviation & Rail Management, is itself recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist consultancy. Businesses with experience overseeing projects, coordinating delivery activity, monitoring progress and providing structured supervision would find the subject matter relevant, particularly where their work covers nationally delivered UK Research & Innovation projects.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 27 May 2026 at 17:00. UK Research & Innovation awarded the contract to Aviation & Rail Management on 8 June 2026 for £12,200. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The awarded value is £12,200, and the tender's estimated value is also £12,200. The award is active and the tender is complete. The process concerns a single project-supervision services requirement, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement record identifies small and medium-sized enterprises as suitable participants and voluntary, community or social enterprises as unsuitable.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of UK Research & Innovation's demand for specialist project-supervision support through a dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor would need to deliver disciplined oversight of project activity, maintain reliable progress monitoring, coordinate stakeholders and provide clear management information to support public-sector decision-making. The requirement is suitable for an SME, so a smaller consultancy with a focused project-management capability can be competitive where it can demonstrate dependable delivery, strong organisation and the capacity to supervise work across the United Kingdom. Experience in project supervision outside construction, especially for research, innovation or other complex public programmes, would help establish relevance when comparable work is considered again.
