Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work for Project 10190231. The requirement is categorised as services and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The work concerns supervising and supporting project activity rather than construction delivery. UKRI is the buying organisation, using the requirement for its own programme and project needs. The classification is CPV 79421100. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses that provide project supervision, coordination and oversight services for UK public-sector or research-related projects are the closest fit, particularly those able to work across UK delivery locations.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 29 May 2026 to Phoenix Performance Solutions. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 8 May 2026 at 17:00. The awarded contract value is £6,180, and the contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The tender’s estimated value was also £6,180. One supplier received the award. The published outcome records an active award and identifies the supplier as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The available procurement information describes the service requirement and SME suitability; the recorded process does not provide a separate award-criteria breakdown or lot structure.

This award provides a clear example of UKRI’s demand for external project-supervision services and its use of a dynamic purchasing system for a focused call-off. Competitors preparing for comparable requirements should be able to demonstrate practical project supervision and oversight capability, with a delivery model suitable for work across the United Kingdom. The procurement was explicitly suitable for SMEs, showing that a smaller specialist provider can be credible for this type of assignment. Relevant businesses are likely to be those with experience managing project activity, coordinating stakeholders, monitoring progress and providing structured supervision for public, research or innovation programmes. Familiarity with selective DPS call-offs would also help suppliers position themselves for similar UKRI requirements.
