Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for projects 10182993 and 10180946. The work covers project supervision other than construction supervision, supporting the oversight and coordination of research and innovation projects. It is a services contract delivered in the United Kingdom, with UKRI as the buying organisation. The requirement is relevant to firms providing project monitoring, governance, delivery oversight, reporting and coordination services for publicly funded research or innovation programmes. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it is scaled for an SME provider rather than restricted to large professional-services businesses. The selected supplier, Phoenix Performance Solutions, is an SME based in Ponteland, Tyne and Wear.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 27 August 2026 to Phoenix Performance Solutions. The award value is £10,700. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The bid deadline was 18 August 2026 at 5pm. UKRI used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than an open competition. The published information identifies the procurement as a single requirement covering both projects, with no separate awarded values shown. The award is active and the contract period matches the planned service period. The available procurement information establishes the selected supplier, value, dates and route to market; detailed scoring criteria are set out through the purchasing-system and call-off arrangements.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear benchmark for competing for similar UKRI project-supervision work. A credible competitor would need to supervise and coordinate projects effectively, maintain reliable governance and monitoring arrangements, produce clear progress reporting, and manage delivery risks across publicly funded research or innovation activity. The requirement also indicates that UKRI uses a dynamic purchasing system for this type of service, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be able to operate within that route and respond to call-off requirements. SME status is commercially relevant: the selected provider shows that a smaller specialist business can be credible for this scale of project-supervision assignment. Relevant public-sector delivery experience, disciplined project controls and capacity to support two projects would strengthen a future response.
