Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is a professional service supporting the supervision and oversight of a project rather than physical construction activity. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The procurement is categorised as services and is identified as project 10182703. Its stated purpose is limited to project supervision, so it is most relevant to consultancies and specialist service providers that manage, monitor or oversee project activity for public-sector or research organisations. The opportunity was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids were due by 20 May 2026 at 5pm. UK Research & Innovation awarded the contract to Science Developments Ltd on 3 June 2026 for £2,015. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The awarded supplier is a UK-registered small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement record identifies one award and one supplier. The requirement was evaluated through the purchasing route and terms of the dynamic purchasing system, with the award applying to the project-supervision service described for project 10182703.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award is a clear example of UK Research & Innovation buying focused project-supervision support through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate practical capability in supervising projects, monitoring progress, coordinating delivery and providing clear oversight to the buyer. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large consultancy. Relevant businesses should be able to present evidence of disciplined project management, dependable reporting, stakeholder coordination and the capacity to support a defined research or innovation project within a public-sector environment.
