Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work (CPV 79421100). The requirement is a service supporting oversight and supervision of a project, rather than construction delivery itself. It is classified as a services procurement and is for delivery in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is a focused opportunity for consultancies and professional services firms that provide project supervision, monitoring, coordination and related management support to public or research-sector projects. Organisations whose main business is construction contracting, rather than project supervision, may find the scope less relevant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. UK Research and Innovation selected ZEC Consultancy Ltd on 23 June 2026. The awarded contract value is £4,250. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 October 2028. The tender submission deadline was 11 June 2026 at 5pm. The route was a selective procedure using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than a standalone open competition. The published procurement value was also £4,250. The requirement was evaluated as a services contract for project-supervision work, with the process marked complete and the award active. The award is to a single supplier, with no separate lot awards identified.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for specialist project-supervision support outside construction delivery. It is relevant to small consultancies and other SMEs able to provide structured project oversight, monitoring, reporting, coordination and management assurance. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show that it can supervise projects reliably, maintain clear records, track progress and issues, communicate with stakeholders, and provide concise evidence-based reporting. Experience of working with public bodies, research organisations or complex funded projects would help establish credibility, particularly where governance, accountability and monitoring are important. Familiarity with dynamic purchasing systems and call-off competitions would also be commercially useful, as this requirement was awarded through that route.
