Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was carried out by UK Research & Innovation, located in Swindon, England, for a project categorised under "Project-supervision services other than for construction work" with the CPV code 79421100. It involved a selective procurement method through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The procurement process has progressed to the award stage, with the contract awarded to VBMS (Buckingham) Ltd. This contract, valued at £9,750, will commence on 1 January 2026 and is set to conclude on 31 December 2028. Key dates include the tender period closing on 29 October 2025 and the award being made on 19 November 2025.

This tender offers a significant growth opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in project supervision services. The procurement is well-suited for businesses that can deliver project-supervision services efficiently within the UK. The contract running for three years implies a stable engagement, allowing SMEs to secure steady revenue and potentially expand their service portfolio within the public sector. Due to the procurement's specific nature, companies already integrated into dynamic purchasing systems or those capable of quickly adapting to such frameworks would have a competitive edge.
