Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) involves an Invitation to Tender (ITT) for Project 10183002, which falls under the industry category of project-supervision services other than for construction work. The location for this procurement is the United Kingdom. The process uses a selective method, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, and has reached the award stage as of 3rd July 2026. The contract, valued at £5,812.50, runs from 1st July 2026 to 31st July 2027. The award to Allotrope Scientific Ltd, an SME based in Durham, was made active on 13th May 2026. UKRI, located in Swindon, has played a pivotal role as the buyer in this procurement process.

This tender offers significant opportunities for SMEs specialising in project supervision services. The use of a dynamic purchasing system indicates potential for ongoing engagements, making it an attractive proposition for businesses looking to expand their portfolio in the public sector. The successful bidder, Allotrope Scientific Ltd, exemplifies the kind of small to medium-sized enterprise that can benefit from such opportunities. Companies that excel in offering project supervision across various sectors, without focusing on construction work, are particularly well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes. Engaging with tenders like this can bolster a company's market presence and provide a stable revenue stream over the contract period.
