Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation commissioned project-supervision services other than construction supervision, covering five projects identified by the buyer. The requirement is for professional oversight and coordination of project activity rather than construction works. It falls within the services category and is intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. The buyer is UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The procurement relates to a defined group of projects rather than a general, organisation-wide supervision service. Businesses operating in project supervision, project management oversight or related monitoring services would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to support UKRI projects across the UK. The awarded supplier was a UK SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research and Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made to Panoplytics Limited on 3 June 2026 for £7,825, with the contract running from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The original tender submission deadline was 20 May 2026 at 5pm. The contract covers the same five-project requirement and the supplier is recorded as an active award recipient. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This is an outcome notice rather than a current bidding opportunity: the purchasing decision has already been made and the contract period is defined above.

This award provides a clear example of UKRI’s demand for specialist project-supervision services delivered through a dynamic purchasing system. A competitor seeking similar work would need credible capability in supervising and monitoring projects, coordinating activity across multiple assignments, and providing reliable oversight for a public research and innovation organisation. The requirement is suitable for an SME, so a smaller specialist consultancy with appropriate project-supervision experience could be well placed when demonstrating its credentials. Businesses should be able to work across the United Kingdom and show that they can manage a defined portfolio of projects rather than only a single assignment. Familiarity with public-sector purchasing through a dynamic purchasing system would also be commercially relevant.
