Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation is buying project-supervision services for projects 10198874 and 10199042. The work falls within professional project management and supervision services outside construction, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement is a services contract for oversight of the named projects rather than construction delivery itself. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The procurement is relevant to consultancies and specialist project-management providers that supervise publicly funded research or innovation projects and can operate across the UK. It may also suit smaller professional-services firms: the requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Round Tower Consulting Limited, is based in Leeds and is recorded as an SME.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 1 July 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to Round Tower Consulting Limited on 28 July 2026 for £7,770. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The award is active. The opportunity covers one services requirement for project supervision connected with projects 10198874 and 10199042. Evaluation was conducted through the dynamic purchasing system call-off route; the published data does not set out separate quality or price weightings. UK Research & Innovation is the contracting buyer. The completed award demonstrates a defined requirement for project-supervision support over a two-year contract period.

This award indicates demand from UK Research & Innovation for external project-supervision support across named research and innovation projects. A credible competitor for similar work would need a professional project-management capability, with the capacity to oversee more than one project and provide consistent supervision throughout a multi-year service engagement. Experience of working with public-sector, research or innovation programmes would be commercially relevant, particularly where projects require structured monitoring, coordination, reporting and oversight. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, and the awarded supplier is itself recorded as an SME, showing that delivery does not depend solely on a large corporate provider. Firms with an established UK operating base and the ability to support UK-wide delivery would be well placed to assess comparable requirements from this buyer.
