Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for two projects, identified in the procurement title by project references 10202431 and 10202332. This is a professional service rather than construction work itself, and the stated classification is project-supervision services other than for construction. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The procurement records the delivery location as the United Kingdom, without identifying a more specific site. The requirement was run as a single service opportunity, with no separate work packages described. Its focus is supervision of the named projects; the available description does not set out specific activities or deliverables within that service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research & Innovation selected A2F Associates Limited, and the award was made on 23 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £12,160. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The buyer used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The stated tender submission deadline was 15 September 2026 at 5pm. The procurement was for services and is treated as one opportunity covering the two projects; no separate lot awards are recorded. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation buys project-supervision services for its projects through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, and that a small or medium-sized supplier can win this type of work. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to supervise project delivery across the relevant projects and provide a dependable professional service. The procurement information identifies the service category but does not describe detailed technical qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or specific experience requirements, so it does not establish a narrower capability profile. The commercial evidence is therefore most relevant to suppliers already able to undertake project supervision for UK Research & Innovation and compete through the buyer’s dynamic purchasing system route.»} Tango мҩаԥыс񎔞} pang?
