Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for work other than construction, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement supports oversight and coordination of a project rather than the delivery of construction works. Services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as services and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation, based at Polaris House in Swindon, England. The selected supplier, Altass Limited, is a Manchester-based SME. The requirement is therefore relevant to project-management and project-supervision consultancies able to support UK Research & Innovation projects, particularly those experienced in monitoring delivery, coordinating stakeholders and providing structured oversight outside a construction setting.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 11 June 2026 at 17:00. UK Research & Innovation awarded the contract to Altass Limited on 15 June 2026 for £7,900. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2027. The award is active. The recorded requirement is for one project-supervision service and the award covers the full stated value. This outcome shows that the buyer used its dynamic purchasing system to appoint an SME for a defined project-supervision requirement, with delivery spanning eighteen months.

This award is relevant to small project-management and consultancy firms that can provide disciplined supervision of publicly funded or research-related projects outside construction. A credible future supplier would need to monitor progress, risks, actions and deliverables; coordinate information between project stakeholders; and give the buyer clear, evidence-based reporting. The requirement also points to the value of being able to work within a dynamic purchasing system and respond to selective call-offs, rather than relying only on open tenders. Firms should be prepared to demonstrate dependable project controls, concise reporting, stakeholder management and the capacity to maintain oversight throughout a long-running assignment. Experience of UK public-sector, research, innovation or grant-funded environments would help a competitor show that it understands the buyer’s operating context and assurance needs.
