Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services, excluding construction supervision, for projects delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement falls within the services category and is classified under CPV 79421100. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon. The service is intended for organisations that can oversee and coordinate project activity rather than carry out construction work itself. It therefore suits project-management and project-supervision businesses with the ability to support UKRI’s project requirements across the UK. The selected supplier, Island Retrofit Ltd, is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement is accessible to businesses of that scale.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. UK Research & Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids were due by 26 May 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded to Island Retrofit Ltd on 9 June 2026 for £2,500. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, with participation reserved through the dynamic purchasing system route. The evaluation basis is not stated in the available procurement details. There is one requirement covering project-supervision services other than construction work, with delivery in the United Kingdom.

For a competitor, this award demonstrates a defined UKRI demand for project-supervision support delivered through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible future supplier would need practical capability in supervising and coordinating projects, with experience relevant to non-construction project work and the capacity to deliver across the United Kingdom. The requirement appears proportionate to an SME-sized provider rather than requiring the scale of a major national contractor. Businesses already qualified for, or able to meet the requirements of, a dynamic purchasing system would be best placed to compete through the same purchasing route. Evidence of reliable project oversight, clear reporting and effective coordination would help demonstrate suitability when comparable work returns to market.
