Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation bought project-supervision services for two projects. The work is classified as project supervision outside construction (CPV 79421100). The procurement record identifies the projects by reference numbers but does not describe the specific supervision tasks or intended outcomes. Delivery is stated as being in the United Kingdom, with no more precise location identified. UK Research & Innovation is the buyer. The requirement is for services, rather than goods or construction work, and relates to supervision of the two named projects.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. UK Research & Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 13 August 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 3 September 2026. Spark Assessment Services Limited was awarded the contract for £4,830. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The published information does not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements beyond identifying the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and unsuitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation buys project-supervision services for its projects through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized business, and the opportunity was marked as suitable for SMEs. A competitor for a similar requirement would need to be able to provide project supervision and to participate in the relevant purchasing system. The procurement concerns two projects and was awarded as a modest-scale services contract. The description provides no further detail on the supervision methods, specialist expertise or qualifications that secured the award, so the clearest evidence of the buyer’s requirement is the project-supervision service itself and its use across two projects.
