Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation bought project-supervision services other than construction supervision for project 10184892. The requirement is classed as a professional service and is intended to support oversight, coordination and monitoring of a project rather than physical construction activity. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. UK Research and Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon, is the buying organisation. The procurement is categorised as services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The named requirement is specific to project supervision, so relevant suppliers are consultancies and professional services firms able to provide structured project oversight, reporting and coordination for a public-sector research and innovation organisation. The work relates to one project rather than a broad programme of construction services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 2 June 2026 to Starmed Consult Limited for £5,900. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with bids due by 20 May 2026 at 5pm. The contract covers the same project-supervision service requirement and has one awarded supplier. The buyer is UK Research and Innovation. The award is active, indicating that the selected supplier is responsible for delivering the service during the stated contract period. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £5,900, in pounds sterling. The process used a dynamic purchasing system route rather than an open standalone tender.

This award shows a defined requirement for specialist project-supervision support within UK Research and Innovation, delivered through a dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical experience of supervising and monitoring projects, maintaining clear progress reporting, coordinating stakeholders and identifying delivery risks early. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller consultancies with an established project-management capability rather than only large professional-services providers. Firms should be able to work with a public research and innovation body, understand governance and assurance expectations, and provide disciplined oversight for an individual project. Evidence of reliable reporting, sound project controls and experience delivering comparable advisory services would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s requirement.
