Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation commissioned project-supervision services for three projects. The procurement record identifies the projects only by internal project references and describes no further activities or deliverables. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The work is associated with the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is identified. This is a services requirement focused on project supervision rather than construction work. The published scope is brief, so suppliers assessing fit should note that the opportunity concerns supervision across three projects, while the precise subject matter, service tasks and operating arrangements are not described here.

The procurement was awarded to Tall Boy (Harrogate) Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise. The award was made on 11 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 January 2027. The awarded value is £7,710. The estimated procurement value was also £7,710. The requirement covered three projects and was placed as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, using a selective procedure. The tender submission deadline was 1 September 2026 at 5pm. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are set out beyond the stated suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises. There is one award and one selected supplier.

For firms providing project-supervision services, this award shows that UK Research & Innovation buys supervision for multiple projects through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system. A small or medium-sized supplier was selected for this requirement, indicating that the scale was accessible to an SME rather than necessarily requiring a large consultancy. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate relevant project-supervision capability and the capacity to cover several projects within a single commission. The information available does not identify specialist subject expertise, named qualifications, accreditations or specific delivery methods, so the clearest evidence for future competition is experience supervising projects and the ability to support UK Research & Innovation’s project portfolio. The selected supplier’s SME status may also be relevant to businesses positioning themselves for similar work.
