Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation is buying project-supervision services for a project identified as 10204144. The procurement is categorised as services, with the work described as project supervision outside construction. The delivery location is stated as the United Kingdom, without a more specific place. The requirement is a call-off from the buyer’s dynamic purchasing system, rather than a standalone description of a broader project. The available scope is limited to this project-supervision requirement; no further tasks or deliverables are described. UK Research & Innovation is the buyer, and the selected supplier is based in Durham. The procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to SMEs providing project oversight or supervision services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Spinnovate Ltd. The award was made on 13 August 2026, for £4,980. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The estimated procurement value is also £4,980. The buyer used a selective call-off procedure through a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 30 July 2026 at 5pm. One contract award is recorded, with no lots described. Evaluation criteria and detailed participation requirements are not set out in the process information. The tender is marked suitable for SMEs and not suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, and the tender status is complete.

For competitors, this award provides evidence that UK Research & Innovation procures project-supervision services through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. A supplier seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate credible project oversight and supervision capability, and be positioned to deliver a defined assignment for a public research and innovation buyer. The recorded award to an SME indicates that the work was delivered by a smaller supplier, while the stated SME suitability supports relevance to small and medium-sized businesses. The requirement is narrowly framed around project supervision outside construction, so firms focused on construction supervision or unrelated consultancy would be less closely matched. Experience managing and monitoring projects would be commercially relevant, although no specific credentials, accreditations, staffing levels or technical thresholds are stated.
