Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than for construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement covers projects 10197732 and 10197545 and is categorised as a service. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The selected supplier, ZEC Consultancy Ltd, is a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Hounslow. The work is therefore relevant to consultancies and project-management businesses able to supervise publicly funded research and innovation projects outside the construction sector, including suppliers with experience coordinating project activity, monitoring progress and providing structured oversight to a research-focused public body.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 11 June 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 11 June 2026. ZEC Consultancy Ltd was awarded the contract for £12,985. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2030. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and the awarded value and period apply to the single reported requirement covering both project references.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of UK Research & Innovation buying specialist project-supervision support for non-construction projects through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible future competitor would need to offer practical project oversight for research and innovation activity, with the organisational capability to monitor delivery, coordinate stakeholders, identify issues and provide clear management reporting. The buyer’s selection of an SME indicates that a smaller consultancy can meet this type of requirement without the scale of a major professional-services firm. Businesses already qualified for, or able to access, relevant dynamic purchasing system opportunities may find this route particularly pertinent. Experience of public-sector governance, disciplined project controls and work across multiple projects would strengthen their position when similar demand returns.
