Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, covering four identified projects. The requirement sits within the services category and is intended to support oversight and supervision of project activity rather than construction delivery itself. Work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon, England. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Andrew Kimber Coaching, is also recorded as an SME, indicating that the requirement was accessible to a smaller specialist provider. Businesses offering structured project supervision, monitoring or related project-management support for UK public-sector research and innovation programmes would find the subject matter most relevant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 12 March 2026 at 5pm, and the award date was 23 March 2026. Andrew Kimber Coaching received the award for £9,550. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 July 2026. The stated requirement covers four projects: 10191941, 10194112, 10193281 and 10192691. The opportunity was classified as project-supervision services other than construction work. The awarded value is the same as the stated tender value. The process has one recorded award and one supplier; no separate lot-level awards are identified.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for short-term project-supervision support within UK Research & Innovation. A credible future competitor would need to show that it can oversee several projects in a coordinated way, provide clear monitoring and reporting, and support delivery without taking on construction work. Relevant providers are likely to be specialist project supervisors, project-management consultancies, research and innovation support businesses, or experienced independent practitioners. The procurement was run as a dynamic purchasing system call-off, so familiarity with that route and the ability to respond efficiently to focused requirements would be commercially useful. The SME suitability and the appointment of an SME indicate that a smaller provider with a focused service, appropriate capacity and evidence of reliable project oversight can compete for this type of requirement.
