Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation bought project-supervision services unrelated to construction, under a project identified as 10181818. The procurement is categorised as services. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom, with no more specific place identified. This is a focused project oversight requirement rather than a construction-supervision assignment. UK Research & Innovation is the buyer. The published description gives no further account of the project, the supervision tasks or the operational setting, so the requirement can be matched most directly by firms providing project-supervision services to public research and innovation bodies.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Promar International Ltd. The award was made on 23 September 2026, following a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system using a selective process. The stated award value is £3,750. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2027. Bids were due by 14 September 2026 at 5pm. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not voluntary, community or social enterprises. No lots or evaluation criteria are set out in the available process information, so the award basis beyond the call-off route cannot be described.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research & Innovation for project-supervision services, with a relatively focused requirement delivered through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Promar International Ltd, recorded as an SME, was selected, indicating that a smaller supplier can win this type of work. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide project oversight suited to UKRI’s needs and be positioned to compete through the relevant purchasing system. The procurement identifies no specific professional accreditation, technical standard, staffing level or specialist project expertise, so there is no evidence to define those as entry requirements. The opportunity is evidence of a discrete, one-year service rather than a construction project or a large-scale delivery programme. સપpliers with relevant project-supervision capability and experience serving public research or innovation organisations are the closest fit.
