Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement supports the oversight and management of projects for the research and innovation organisation, rather than construction supervision. The service is categorised as professional services and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement covers a single requirement for UKRI, based in Swindon, England. It is relevant to consultancies and independent project-management specialists with experience supervising publicly funded research, innovation or other complex projects across a UK-wide delivery environment. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller specialist firms were within the intended supplier market.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research and Innovation selected John Heywood Consulting, an SME, on 16 July 2026. The awarded value is £30,365. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2030. The tender submission deadline was 8 July 2026 at 5pm. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than a standalone open competition. The original estimated tender value was also £30,365. The award is active and covers the full project-supervision services requirement. The published outcome therefore records a completed call-off and identifies the appointed supplier and the agreed delivery period.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that UK Research and Innovation buys specialist project-supervision capability through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show practical experience overseeing projects, maintaining delivery control and providing structured supervision for a public research and innovation organisation. The successful supplier’s SME status indicates that a smaller consultancy can meet the buyer’s expectations, so scale alone is not the defining advantage. Firms should be able to demonstrate dependable project-management methods, clear reporting, effective stakeholder coordination and the capacity to support work delivered across the United Kingdom. Experience of publicly funded, technically complex or multi-party projects would strengthen a future response.
