Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation recently completed a procurement process for project-supervision services, excluding construction, under Project 10175670. This process, announced via an Invitation to Tender (ITT), employed a selective procurement method through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender was initially due by 3rd February 2026, with the award being published on 16th February 2026. The contract, valued at £592.5, will take effect from 1st March 2026 to 31st March 2026 across the United Kingdom. This procurement concluded the award stage, with Howfar Innovation Ltd being the successful supplier, signifying the completion of this contracting process within the services category.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in project-supervision to expand their reach by partnering with a leading UK research institution. Companies that excel in providing specialised supervision services beyond construction will find this type of procurement favourable. As the procurement method involves dynamic purchasing systems, businesses that are agile and can adapt to selective tendering processes are well-suited to benefit from potential future opportunities in similar processes.
