Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work. The requirement is categorised as a service and is intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. The available description identifies the opportunity as project 10203107 and indicates a general project-supervision requirement rather than construction supervision. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon, England. This is therefore relevant to consultancies and specialist project-management providers that supervise or monitor projects for public-sector or research organisations, particularly businesses able to deliver services across the UK. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids had to be submitted by 6 August 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded on 14 August 2026 to Phoenix Performance Solutions for GBP 5,420. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The award is active. The evaluation basis is not described beyond the use of the selective dynamic-purchasing-system call-off route. There is one identified requirement covering the project-supervision service, with no separate lots or multiple awards recorded. The successful supplier is identified as an SME.

This award provides a clear reference point for suppliers targeting UK Research & Innovation’s project-supervision requirements. A credible competitor would need to provide project supervision or monitoring services beyond construction work, operate effectively across the United Kingdom, and support a public research and innovation organisation over a sustained contract period. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist consultancies can regard this buyer and route as relevant rather than assuming that only large contractors can compete. Experience delivering structured project oversight, maintaining reliable reporting, and working within a dynamic purchasing system would help a supplier demonstrate readiness for a future requirement of this type. The relevant commercial route is a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system.
