Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation commissioned project-supervision services for work outside construction. The requirement is classified as project-supervision services other than for construction work (CPV 79421100) and is categorised as a services contract. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement relates to UKRI’s project requirement identified as Project 10185386. The buyer is UK Research and Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon. The appointed service is therefore relevant to consultancies and specialist project-management providers that supervise or coordinate projects in a non-construction setting, particularly those able to operate across the UK. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller project-supervision businesses as well as larger specialist consultancies.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 May 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 7 April 2026 at 5pm. UK Research and Innovation awarded the contract to Jorvik Food and Environmental Chemical Safety Ltd for £6,486. The awarded contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The award value is the same as the overall procurement value. This is a single services requirement for project supervision outside construction, delivered in the United Kingdom. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The contracting route shows that suppliers were selected through the relevant dynamic purchasing system rather than through an open procedure.

For a supplier that did not win, this award provides a clear benchmark for the type of provider UK Research and Innovation uses for non-construction project supervision. A credible competitor would need practical project-supervision and coordination capability, with experience of managing project activity in a structured public-sector or research environment. The requirement is suitable for an SME, so a smaller specialist consultancy could compete if it can demonstrate reliable delivery, appropriate governance, clear reporting and the capacity to support a UK-wide requirement. Familiarity with call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system would also be important, including the ability to respond to selective competitions and meet the system’s qualification requirements. Providers should be able to sustain consistent service delivery over a multi-year engagement and show relevant evidence from comparable project-supervision work.
