Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation commissioned project-supervision services for five projects (CPV 79421100). The procurement data gives no project-level descriptions, so the defined scope is limited to supervision services rather than construction work itself. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The only delivery location stated is the United Kingdom, without a more specific site. This requirement is for professional services supporting project oversight, and is relevant to consultancies and advisers whose work includes supervising projects. The five project reference numbers identify the projects in the procurement but do not explain their subject matter. UK Research & Innovation is the organisation responsible for the purchase.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Tideswell Business Development Ltd. The award was made on 22 September 2026 for £22,770, matching the estimated procurement value. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 June 2027. The tender submission deadline was 26 August 2026 at 5pm. The buyer used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The requirement covers five projects, with one award reported for the overall procurement. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The published information does not set out the evaluation criteria or any further participation requirements.

This award provides evidence that UK Research & Innovation buys project-supervision services across multiple projects through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system. A supplier seeking to compete for a comparable requirement when it next comes to market would need credible project oversight capability and the capacity to support several projects within one assignment. The selection of a small business shows that this scale of work has been delivered by an SME, rather than being confined to large contractors. The requirement is specifically for supervision services outside construction work, so relevant experience should be centred on overseeing projects, not on delivering construction. The five projects' subject matter is not described, so the evidence supports a focus on transferable supervision expertise rather than any particular technical sector.
