Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for a UK-based requirement. The work is classified as project supervision outside construction, so it concerns oversight and coordination of a project rather than construction supervision. The procurement record identifies the buying organisation as UK Research & Innovation and the supplier as GBC. The service is categorised as professional services and is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This points to an opportunity for firms with relevant project oversight capability, including smaller providers. The requirement is identified by a project reference, but no further project-specific tasks or delivery locations within the UK are described.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to GBC. UK Research & Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 18 September 2026. The estimated and awarded value is £6,700. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028. Bids were due by 14 September 2026 at 5pm. The service was identified as suitable for SMEs and not suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises. No lots or separate awards are recorded. The available evaluation information does not state award criteria, so the basis used to select the supplier cannot be described beyond the stated procurement route.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that UK Research & Innovation buys project-supervision services through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to oversee and coordinate projects outside the construction context, and to deliver a focused service at a modest contract scale. The buyer’s indication that the requirement suits SMEs suggests that smaller specialist firms can be relevant competitors. The named supplier is itself an SME, showing that a smaller provider was selected for this contract. Future competitors should build relevant project-supervision experience and be prepared to compete through the buyer’s dynamic purchasing system route; the procurement gives no further detail on mandatory qualifications, accreditations or technical requirements.
