Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation is procuring project-supervision services other than construction supervision, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is for project oversight and related management support for UKRI’s work in the United Kingdom. It is a services contract, intended for delivery across the UK rather than at a named individual site. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon. The selected supplier is Sandhills Management Consultancy Limited, an Isle of Wight-based management consultancy. The scope is identified as project supervision, so relevant businesses are those providing structured oversight, coordination and management support for public-sector projects outside construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Sandhills Management Consultancy Limited on 22 June 2026. The award value is £6,440. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2029. It was run as a selective procedure using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 11 June 2026 at 5pm. The contract was evaluated as a services requirement for project supervision, with the procurement suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active and covers the same £6,440 value and contract period. UK Research & Innovation is the buyer and Sandhills Management Consultancy Limited is the appointed supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research & Innovation for specialist project-supervision support delivered across the UK, using a dynamic purchasing system call-off route. The successful supplier is an SME management consultancy, indicating that a smaller specialist firm can be appointed for this type of requirement. Businesses seeking future work of this kind would need credible project oversight and management capability, with the ability to coordinate and monitor public-sector projects outside construction. Familiarity with dynamic purchasing systems and their call-off processes would be commercially relevant. A consultancy able to provide proportionate, reliable supervision support for UKRI projects would be well placed to compete when comparable requirements return.
