Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work. The requirement is classified under CPV 79421100 and falls within the services category. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The purchasing organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The procurement concerns supervision of a project rather than construction activity itself, so it is relevant to firms providing project oversight, coordination, monitoring and related management support for public-sector or research-related programmes. The selected supplier, GBC, is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs and was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and was awarded to GBC on 28 May 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 8 May 2026 at 5pm. The award value was £15,000, and the contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. The award is active and covers the full requirement rather than separately reported lots. The contracting authority is UK Research & Innovation. The published process records the requirement as a project-supervision service and identifies SME suitability. GBC was the selected supplier; the award information does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or a different allocation between multiple providers.

For competitors, this award demonstrates UK Research & Innovation’s demand for externally delivered project-supervision support through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in supervising and monitoring projects, coordinating delivery activity, managing progress and reporting clearly to a public research and innovation organisation. The requirement is service-based rather than construction-based, so relevant experience should centre on project governance, oversight and assurance rather than site management or building delivery. The award to an SME indicates that businesses of this scale can be considered suitable for this type of work. Firms already qualified for, or able to access, the relevant dynamic purchasing system route would be better placed to compete when comparable supervision services are next considered.
