Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement supports the supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction delivery itself. The service is categorised as a professional service and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the requirement was accessible to businesses operating at SME scale. The selected supplier was an individual SME based in Anglesey, demonstrating that the work could be delivered by a small specialist provider rather than only by a large consultancy or national contractor.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded to Dr. Don Cardy on 2 September 2026 for £5,160. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The published requirement and the award cover the same project-supervision service and value. The award was active, and the contract period began before the award date recorded in the procurement outcome. The process used a dynamic purchasing system call-off route, so suppliers were selected from the relevant purchasing system rather than through an unrestricted open tender.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award shows a defined requirement for project-supervision expertise within UK Research & Innovation and a route to market through a dynamic purchasing system. A credible future competitor would need to provide specialist supervision and oversight for projects, understand how to manage delivery against project requirements, and operate effectively for a UK-wide public-sector customer. The opportunity was expressly suitable for SMEs, so a small consultancy or independent specialist with relevant project-supervision experience could be well placed to compete. The awarded supplier’s SME status also indicates that large corporate scale was not essential; demonstrable capability, dependable delivery and a clear fit with the project requirement are likely to matter more.
