Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for a project identified by the buyer as Project 10206621. The work is classified as services and concerns project supervision outside construction; the procurement data does not describe further tasks or outputs. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The delivery location is recorded only as the United Kingdom, without a more specific place. This requirement is suited to small and medium-sized enterprises. It is a focused professional-services requirement rather than a construction project or a broader works contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids were due by 5 August 2026, and the award was made on 11 August 2026. Helix Projects Limited was selected, with an awarded value of £4,455. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The estimated tender value was also £4,455. The recorded process data does not describe the evaluation criteria, so the basis for comparing bids cannot be stated. The award is active; no contract signature date or completion outcome is recorded.

For suppliers who did not win, this award demonstrates UK Research & Innovation’s use of a dynamic purchasing system to buy project-supervision services outside construction, with a small, defined contract scale and a one-year delivery period. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable project-supervision capability and the capacity to deliver a discrete assignment for a national research and innovation organisation. The successful supplier, Helix Projects Limited, is recorded as an SME, showing that a small business was selected for this requirement. The procurement data does not set out specific professional accreditations, technical standards or experience thresholds, so suppliers should not assume that any particular credential was decisive.
