Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than for construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement covers supervision and oversight of projects delivered in the United Kingdom. It is a services contract managed by UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon. The named supplier is Round Tower Consulting Limited, a Leeds-based consultancy. The opportunity is relevant to firms providing project supervision, project management oversight or related assurance services for UK research and innovation programmes. Its scope is focused on supervising projects rather than construction work, so businesses whose core offer is construction delivery, rather than project supervision, are less closely aligned.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. UK Research & Innovation selected Round Tower Consulting Limited on 27 May 2026. The awarded value is £12,730. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The tender submission deadline was 7 April 2026 at 5pm. The procurement used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was run as a single service requirement for delivery in the United Kingdom. The award is active, with the awarded value and contract period matching the tendered requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research & Innovation for focused project-supervision services delivered by a small or medium-sized consultancy. Businesses preparing for a comparable requirement should be able to provide credible project oversight across UK-based work, with the capability to monitor delivery, identify issues, maintain governance and provide clear reporting to a public-sector research and innovation buyer. Experience supervising projects outside construction is particularly relevant. The procurement route also shows the importance of qualifying for, and operating through, a dynamic purchasing system and responding to selective call-offs. A credible competitor would therefore combine practical project-supervision experience, proportionate SME capacity and familiarity with public-sector reporting and assurance requirements.
