Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England, has successfully completed a procurement process for Project-supervision services, not related to construction work. The tender, titled "ITT for Project 10185249," was conducted using a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. It was awarded to Merralls Consulting Limited, valued at £7,986. This procurement falls under the services industry category, with the contract period set from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The award was active as of 22 May 2026, after the tender period concluded on 7 April 2026.
