Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction supervision, covering projects identified as 10186992 and 10185131. The work is classified under CPV 79421100 and falls within the services category. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement is for a specialist project-supervision provider supporting UKRI’s project activity rather than for construction works themselves. UKRI is the buying organisation and is based at Polaris House in Swindon, England. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller consultancies and independent project-management businesses with the capability to supervise public-sector projects. The requirement was awarded to Phoenix Performance Solutions, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Ponteland, Tyne and Wear.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 20 May 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to Phoenix Performance Solutions on 29 May 2026 for £6,440. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The published evaluation basis is the requirement for project-supervision services other than construction work; the procurement data does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The contract is recorded as active. The award relates to the combined requirement for projects 10186992 and 10185131, rather than separate awards to different suppliers or lots.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear reference point for suppliers targeting UK Research & Innovation’s project-supervision requirements. A credible competitor would need to deliver professional supervision of public-sector projects, understand project controls and governance, and manage oversight across the full delivery period. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist provider rather than only by a large consultancy. Businesses with demonstrable project-supervision experience, reliable reporting and the capacity to support UKRI’s project portfolio would be well placed to assess similar future requirements. The relevant route is a dynamic purchasing system call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work should understand that purchasing mechanism and maintain the capability to respond to selective opportunities.
