Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work (CPV 79421100) for four projects: 10196468, 10198509, 10199232 and 10199432. The requirement is categorised as a service and is delivered in the United Kingdom. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The procurement relates to supervising and overseeing project activity rather than carrying out construction work. The stated project identifiers indicate a requirement covering several separate projects, but the available description does not give further information about their subject matter, outputs or operational setting. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to organisations providing project supervision and oversight services across UK-based public research and innovation activity, including small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with tender responses due by 1 July 2026 at 5pm. UK Research & Innovation awarded the contract to Dr Don Cardy on 28 July 2026. The awarded value is £13,635. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The procurement was evaluated as a service requirement for project-supervision work, and the tender was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active and covers the four projects named in the requirement. The published award identifies one supplier and one awarded value; it does not indicate separate lots or multiple awards.

For suppliers that did not win this contract, the award provides a clear example of UK Research & Innovation buying project-supervision services through a dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to demonstrate the ability to supervise and oversee multiple projects for a public research and innovation buyer, with sufficient organisation and capacity to manage the work across the United Kingdom. The procurement’s stated SME suitability suggests that smaller specialist providers can be relevant, provided they can deliver the required supervision service at the scale represented by four projects. Firms should also be able to compete through the buyer’s dynamic purchasing system call-off route and show a service offer focused on project oversight rather than construction delivery.
