Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for work other than construction, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement covers the supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction delivery itself. Services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom for UK Research & Innovation, which is based in Swindon, England. This is a services procurement and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Dales Consulting Limited, is itself recorded as an SME. Businesses offering project supervision, project monitoring or related delivery oversight services should view this as a requirement aligned with their professional services capability and UK delivery arrangements.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to Dales Consulting Limited on 24 August 2026 for £6,900. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The award is active. The procurement was evaluated as a project-supervision services requirement, with the contract value and period applying to the single recorded award. The process therefore provides a clear example of this buyer using a dynamic purchasing system to appoint a specialist services supplier.

This award is commercially relevant to SMEs providing project supervision and oversight services to UK public research and innovation organisations. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate the ability to supervise a defined project, maintain structured oversight and provide reliable professional services rather than construction delivery. Experience of working with public sector clients, clear project-control methods and the capacity to support UK-wide delivery would strengthen its position. The procurement also shows that UK Research & Innovation uses a selective call-off route through a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers need to understand and operate within that route. The requirement is focused and suited to a specialist consultancy rather than a large delivery contractor.
