Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services, classified as project-supervision services other than for construction work (CPV 79421100). The stated scope is limited to two project references, 10190103 and 10194688; the procurement does not describe the specific supervision tasks or project subject matter. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The delivery location is identified only as the United Kingdom, with no more specific place provided. This is a services requirement, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to SMT Consulting, an SME. The award was made on 26 August 2026, for £7,710. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The requirement was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 13 August 2026 at 5pm. The published information identifies project supervision as the service and states that SMEs were suitable to take part; it gives no further evaluation criteria or detailed eligibility requirements. The award value matches the tender's stated estimated value.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation buys project-supervision services through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, with an SME supplier selected for this requirement. Firms competing for a similar requirement from this buyer would need to demonstrate credible project-supervision capability and the capacity to support the relevant projects. The scope is described only by two project references, so the particular subject expertise, deliverables and staffing profile cannot be inferred from this procurement. The recorded award provides a relatively small-scale example of the buyer's demand; the successful supplier was SMT Consulting, itself an SME. Suppliers whose work is limited to construction supervision should note that the requirement is classified as project supervision other than for construction.
