Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services, classified as project-supervision services other than construction work (CPV 79421100). The requirement is described only as an invitation to tender for a project; no project-specific tasks or outputs are detailed. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The service delivery location is stated as the United Kingdom, without a more specific place. This is a professional services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Philip Henchoz trading as Bluprint Consultancy. The award was made on 28 September 2026, following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The stated award value is £6,052. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028. The tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026. The process was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots are recorded, and no evaluation criteria or specific eligibility requirements are described. The award is recorded as active.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation buys project-supervision services through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, and that a small consultancy was selected for this requirement. A future competitor would need to be positioned to provide project supervision in a professional-services context and to participate in the relevant dynamic purchasing system call-off route. The procurement is a modest, focused assignment rather than a large delivery programme, so a consultancy able to undertake the requirement at that scale may be well placed. The description does not detail the project, deliverables, specialist experience, accreditations or staffing expectations, so the evidence of buyer demand is limited to the broad project-supervision service category.
