Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement supports supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction delivery itself. Services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The contracting organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The procurement is categorised as a service opportunity and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This makes it relevant to consultancies and specialist project-management businesses that can provide structured supervision, monitoring and coordination for publicly funded research or innovation projects. The selected supplier, Island Retrofit Ltd, is an SME based in Ventnor on the Isle of Wight, providing a useful indication of the type and scale of business that secured this requirement.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. UK Research & Innovation selected Island Retrofit Ltd. The award was made on 1 September 2026 at a value of £3,200. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. Bids were due by 1 July 2026 at 5pm. The process used a selective procurement method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The published requirement had an estimated value of £3,200, matching the awarded value. It covered one service requirement and was recorded as complete at tender stage. The available information does not set out separate lots or an explicit quality-to-price weighting, so the stated basis for evaluation is the procurement route and the requirements of the dynamic purchasing system.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement shows that UK Research & Innovation uses a dynamic purchasing system to source relatively small-scale project-supervision services and that an SME can secure the work. A credible competitor would need practical experience supervising projects, monitoring progress, coordinating delivery and reporting clearly to a public-sector client. It would also need to understand how to operate within a dynamic purchasing system and meet its qualification requirements before receiving a call-off opportunity. Island Retrofit Ltd’s selection demonstrates that the buyer can appoint a specialist SME rather than requiring a large national contractor. Businesses with disciplined project controls, reliable administration, evidence of comparable supervision work and the capacity to support UK-based delivery would be well placed for a similar requirement from this buyer.
