Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process, led by UK Research & Innovation, pertains to an Invitation to Tender (ITT) for project 10198434, classified under project-supervision services other than for construction work. This contract, valued at GBP 5,648, is procured using a selective method via a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The buyer's location is Swindon, England, while the contract services are intended for delivery within the United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently in the award phase, with the contract period scheduled to run from 1st August 2026 to 31st January 2028. Key dates include the tender period end date which was 24th June 2026, and the award date of 2nd July 2026.

This tender presents a growth opportunity especially suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to its suitability preferences. The contract involves provision of non-construction project-supervision services, which can help businesses in relevant sectors to expand their portfolios. Firms with experience in dynamic purchasing systems and who can deliver quality oversight and project management services would find this tender particularly beneficial. The award to Light Touch UK suggests that SME-scale suppliers are in strong contention for similar future opportunities.
