Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services unrelated to construction work. The requirement supports oversight and management of a project, rather than construction delivery itself. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, and the work is delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a services opportunity suited to consultancies and specialist project-management providers that can supervise project activity, coordinate delivery and provide structured oversight for a public research and innovation organisation. The stated requirement is linked to project 10198339, so businesses with experience of managing comparable public-sector, research, innovation or complex organisational projects are the most relevant comparators when assessing future demand from this buyer.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. UK Research & Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 27 May 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 4 June 2026. STARMED CONSULT LIMITED was awarded the contract for £12,020. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The requirement was classified as services and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This was a single requirement rather than a procurement divided into separately reported lots. The award followed a competitive selection among suppliers within the dynamic purchasing system, with the successful supplier selected for the project-supervision requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from UK Research & Innovation for external project-supervision capability over a substantial contract period. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist consultancy can be credible for this type of work. Relevant competitors would need demonstrable project-supervision and project-management experience, with the ability to oversee delivery, maintain control of activities and provide reliable reporting to a public research and innovation body. Familiarity with public-sector governance, stakeholder coordination and structured assurance would strengthen a future offering, particularly for firms already operating across research, innovation or other complex programmes. The dynamic purchasing system call-off route also shows the importance of being qualified to participate in the relevant supplier marketplace.
