Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement concerns professional oversight and coordination of a project rather than construction delivery. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom, with UKRI as the buying organisation. This is a services procurement and is relevant to consultancies and project-management businesses that supervise projects, monitor progress, coordinate activities and provide assurance to a public research and innovation organisation. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially relevant to smaller specialist consultancies as well as larger project-supervision providers with the necessary public-sector delivery capability.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. UK Research & Innovation selected Merralls Consulting Limited on 22 May 2026. The award value is £7,986. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The tender deadline was 7 April 2026 at 5pm. The route was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than an open standalone competition. The procurement was for services and had a completed tender status. The awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The published outcome records one active award and does not identify separate lots or multiple awarded suppliers.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates that UK Research & Innovation buys defined project-supervision support through a dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical experience supervising projects, maintaining oversight of delivery, coordinating stakeholders and reporting clearly to a public research and innovation buyer. The modest contract scale indicates a focused assignment that may suit a specialist consultancy or an SME with a small delivery team, rather than only a major professional-services firm. Suppliers should be able to show dependable project controls, structured monitoring, clear communication and the capacity to provide support throughout a multi-year service engagement.
