Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work. The requirement is classified under CPV 79421100 and falls within the services category. The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom for UK Research and Innovation, whose registered address is Polaris House, Swindon, England. The procurement concerns project supervision rather than construction project management, although the published description does not give a more detailed breakdown of the projects, activities or outputs involved. It is therefore most relevant to businesses providing professional project supervision services to public-sector or research organisations, particularly those able to operate across the UK and support the oversight and coordination of funded research or innovation activity.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 23 April 2026 at 5pm. UK Research and Innovation awarded the contract to Biohelix Solutions Ltd on 13 May 2026 for £4,500, with the contract running from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2027. The award is active. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This is a single service requirement, with no separate lots stated. The published procurement identifies project-supervision services as the subject of the contract, but does not set out further award-weighting details or a fuller description of the work in the available summary.

This award provides a clear example of UK Research and Innovation buying project-supervision support through its dynamic purchasing system, at a scale that can suit a focused specialist provider rather than only a large consultancy. Businesses considering future opportunities with this buyer would need a credible capability in professional project supervision, with the organisation, processes and staff needed to oversee public research or innovation projects. The successful supplier, Biohelix Solutions Ltd, is recorded as an SME, showing that an SME-sized business can meet the buyer’s requirements for this type of service. Relevant suppliers should be able to demonstrate reliable delivery, clear project governance and effective coordination for UK-wide work, while understanding the demands of working with a public research funder.
