Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services other than for construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement supports the oversight and management of a project rather than construction delivery itself. The buying organisation is UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The service is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a services procurement and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, ZEC Consultancy Ltd, is also classified as an SME. The requirement therefore indicates demand from a national research and innovation organisation for specialist project-supervision capability that can operate across the UK, with the emphasis on supervising project activity outside the construction sector.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. UK Research and Innovation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was evaluated through that route, with the available award information identifying the requirement as project-supervision services. The award was made to ZEC Consultancy Ltd on 23 June 2026 for £3,500. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The original tender submission deadline was 11 June 2026 at 5.00 pm. One supplier is identified as awarded, and the award is active. The contract is a single services requirement delivered in the United Kingdom, rather than a construction works package.

This award provides a clear reference point for consultancies specialising in project supervision outside construction, particularly smaller firms that can work with UK public research and innovation organisations. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate practical capability in supervising projects, coordinating delivery and maintaining oversight across the contract period. Experience of working with public-sector or research-focused clients would help establish relevance, while the use of a dynamic purchasing system call-off shows the importance of being eligible and positioned to compete through an established purchasing route. The modest contract scale makes this type of requirement potentially relevant to an SME consultancy with focused project-management capacity, rather than only to a large multidisciplinary professional-services provider.
