Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services for projects 10197297 and 10199115. The requirement covers supervision and oversight of projects rather than construction work, corresponding to CPV 79421100. It is a professional services opportunity for an organisation able to coordinate, monitor and support project delivery across the United Kingdom. The buyer is UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The procurement is categorised as services and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Aviation & Rail Management, is an SME based in London. The work therefore suits specialist project-management and project-supervision providers with the organisational capability to support UKRI’s project portfolio and work with a public research and innovation body.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Aviation & Rail Management on 16 July 2026. The award value is £40,600. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2030. The tender submission deadline was 8 July 2026 at 17:00. UK Research and Innovation used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract covers the two identified projects, with one supplier selected. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement for project supervision; the published information does not set out additional quality, price or technical weightings. The award is active, and the awarded value and contract period match the tender-level figures.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers competing for comparable UK Research and Innovation project-supervision work. A credible competitor would need demonstrable experience supervising projects outside construction, with the ability to monitor delivery, coordinate stakeholders, manage reporting and identify issues early across a public-sector project environment. The requirement is accessible to SMEs, indicating that a focused specialist provider can compete without needing the scale of a large national consultancy. Aviation & Rail Management’s selection also shows that a smaller organisation with relevant project-management capability can satisfy the buyer through a dynamic purchasing system call-off. Suppliers should therefore maintain evidence of effective project oversight, reliable governance, clear communications and capacity to support multiple UK-based projects.
