Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for a project identified as Project 10205768. The work is classified as project supervision outside construction, so it concerns oversight or coordination of a project rather than construction supervision. Delivery is stated as being in the United Kingdom. The procurement was managed by UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Spark Assessment Services Limited. The award was made on 14 August 2026, following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system; the tender deadline was 5 August 2026. The awarded value is £3,150. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The published information describes one project-supervision requirement and gives no separate lot-level awards. UK Research & Innovation marked the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

This award provides evidence that UK Research & Innovation buys project-supervision services through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, at a modest individual contract scale. A small or medium-sized supplier focused on project oversight outside construction is the closest fit indicated by the requirement and the buyer’s stated SME suitability. Competitors seeking comparable UKRI work would need to be credible in delivering project supervision and able to participate through the relevant purchasing system. The award confirms demand for this specific service from this buyer; it does not establish requirements for particular accreditations, specialist experience or delivery capacity.
