Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction supervision, classified under CPV 79421100. The work supports oversight and coordination of a project rather than the delivery of construction works. It is a services requirement for delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist project-management and project-supervision consultancies as well as larger professional-services providers. The named buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The requirement is identified as project 10198434 and concerns one service line rather than a multi-lot programme.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure and made a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 24 June 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to Light Touch UK on 2 July 2026 for £5,648, inclusive of the stated contract value. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 January 2028. Light Touch UK is identified as an SME. The award is active, and the contract covers the same project-supervision services for delivery in the United Kingdom. The published outcome therefore confirms both the selected supplier and the route used to place this requirement.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of UKRI buying a defined project-supervision service through its dynamic purchasing system. The opportunity is modest in scale and suited to an SME, so specialist consultancies and independent project-management providers may be credible competitors when comparable requirements return. Relevant businesses should be able to supervise and coordinate projects, provide practical oversight, and operate effectively within a public-sector call-off process. Familiarity with dynamic purchasing systems and the ability to deliver consistently across the United Kingdom would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement also indicates demand for focused supervision services rather than construction delivery itself.
