Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation commissioned project-supervision services other than construction work. The requirement is categorised as a professional project-management and oversight service, rather than physical construction. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for a national research and innovation organisation based in Swindon, England. The procurement is for services and relates to project 10197302. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, which uses project supervision to oversee delivery and coordination of its work. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist project-management consultancies and smaller firms providing structured supervision, monitoring and reporting services in a UK setting.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 11 June 2026 at 5pm. Mayflower Innovation was awarded the contract on 23 June 2026 for £3,675. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2028. The award was evaluated as a project-supervision services requirement and the award value is £3,675. The selected supplier is Mayflower Innovation, a Manchester-based SME. The award is active, and the requirement was handled as a single procurement rather than a set of separately awarded lots.

This award provides a clear example of UK Research & Innovation buying a focused project-supervision service through its dynamic purchasing system. A competitor seeking similar work would need to show credible project oversight capability, including the ability to monitor delivery, coordinate activity, maintain clear records and provide concise reporting to a public-sector research and innovation buyer. The requirement is proportionate to a small specialist engagement and was identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller project-management consultancies can be relevant competitors. Firms should be able to work across the United Kingdom and demonstrate dependable supervision of projects outside construction, with the organisational discipline needed to support a public body over a sustained service period.
