Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for a project identified as 10191628. The requirement falls within professional project management and supervision services, specifically supervision of projects other than construction work. The work is categorised as a service and is intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement was for UK Research & Innovation, the public research and innovation organisation responsible for the requirement. This is a focused professional-services opportunity rather than a supply of goods or construction works. Businesses with experience overseeing project activity, coordinating delivery and providing structured supervision for public-sector or research-related programmes would be aligned with the type of work purchased.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids were due by 7 May 2026 at 5pm. UK Research & Innovation awarded the contract to Viridiq Limited on 27 May 2026 for £3,500. The contract runs from 1 June 2026 to 30 November 2026. The recorded tender value and awarded value are both £3,500. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, indicating that a supplier was selected for the project-supervision services. The process used the dynamic purchasing system’s call-off route rather than a standalone open tender.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation uses a dynamic purchasing system to obtain compact, defined project-supervision assignments from specialist service providers. A credible competitor for comparable work would need practical project oversight capability, including planning, coordination, progress monitoring, issue management and clear reporting to the buying organisation. Experience supervising non-construction projects would be directly relevant, particularly where work must be organised against defined objectives and delivery requirements. The successful supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that this type of assignment can suit an agile specialist consultancy rather than only a large professional-services firm. Businesses already qualified on, or able to access, the relevant dynamic purchasing system would understand the route used for this requirement.
