Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation commissioned project-supervision services for three projects, identified in the procurement title by project references. The published scope gives no further description of the supervisory tasks or project subject matter, so the opportunity is best matched to firms able to provide project supervision rather than to a more specific technical specialism. The buyer is UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom, without a more precise site. This is a services requirement and was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement’s limited scope across three projects indicates a focused assignment, rather than a broad programme of supervision work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to John Heywood Consulting. The award was made on 11 May 2026. The awarded contract value is £8,215. The contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 30 November 2026. The buyer used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 7 May 2026 at 5pm UK time. The award information identifies a single successful supplier and does not break the requirement into lots. No specific selection requirements or evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details, so the basis for selecting the successful supplier cannot be described further.

This award demonstrates UK Research and Innovation’s demand for project-supervision support across several individual projects, delivered through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to show that it can provide hands-on project supervision across a defined, short-term assignment and manage more than one project within the same commission. The award went to a small business, and the original opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, suggesting the scale can be accessible to smaller consultancies as well as larger providers. The project subjects and detailed task requirements are not described, so the award provides evidence of demand for supervision services but does not establish a particular technical discipline, professional accreditation or specialist capability.
