Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services for three identified projects, covering work other than construction supervision. The requirement is classified as project-supervision services and falls within the services category. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The work concerns overseeing and supporting project activity rather than supplying goods or carrying out construction works. It is relevant to businesses providing project management, programme oversight, monitoring or related supervision services for publicly funded research and innovation projects. The requirement is presented as a single service need rather than separate lots, so suppliers would need to cover the overall scope across the identified projects.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. UK Research and Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 11 June 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded on 25 June 2026. Howfar Innovation Ltd was selected for an awarded value of £19,740. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. The procurement's estimated value was also £19,740. The available outcome identifies the selected supplier and the contract term; it does not provide a separate scoring breakdown or award-criteria weighting. The arrangement was made through the dynamic purchasing system call-off route rather than an open competition.

This award indicates a defined requirement from UK Research and Innovation for external supervision of research and innovation projects over a multi-year service period. Businesses considering comparable work should be able to provide structured project oversight, monitor progress and delivery, manage reporting, identify risks and support governance across several projects. Experience of working with public-sector, research or innovation programmes would help demonstrate credibility, particularly where evidence, milestones and accountability are important. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so a specialist SME with appropriate project-management capability could compete through the relevant dynamic purchasing system. A credible future supplier would need capacity to support multiple projects and operate within a formal call-off process.
