Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than for construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement supports the supervision and oversight of a project identified as 10197043. It is a services contract delivered in the United Kingdom, with UKRI as the buying organisation. The procurement was intended for an SME supplier, making it relevant to smaller professional services firms with the ability to provide structured project supervision. The named service concerns project oversight rather than construction delivery itself, so businesses should assess their experience in supervising projects, coordinating activity, monitoring progress and reporting to a public research and innovation organisation. The buyer is based at Polaris House in Swindon, England.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 11 June 2026 at 5pm. UK Research & Innovation awarded the contract to Mapletonav Ltd on 23 June 2026 for £4,400. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2027. The requirement was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system call-off process. This is a single awarded requirement, with no separate lots or multiple suppliers identified. The recorded contract value is in GBP and applies to the awarded project-supervision services. The award is active, and the procurement has reached its outcome rather than remaining at a planning or tender stage.

For firms reviewing future demand from UK Research & Innovation, this award demonstrates a requirement for focused project-supervision capability that can be delivered by an SME. A credible supplier would need to show practical experience overseeing projects, maintaining delivery control, coordinating stakeholders, tracking progress and producing clear management information. The work is suited to a compact professional services team able to take responsibility for supervision without the scale of a major construction-management operation. Experience working with public sector, research or innovation projects would help a competitor demonstrate understanding of governance, accountability and reporting expectations. Firms with repeatable project-management methods, reliable personnel and evidence of delivering comparable oversight assignments would be well placed when this type of requirement next reaches the market.
