Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is described as “ITT for Project 10182986” and covers services delivered in the United Kingdom. The work is a service rather than the supply of goods or construction works, and is intended to provide supervision of a project or projects outside the construction sector. The named buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon. This is therefore relevant to consultancies and professional services firms providing project oversight, coordination, monitoring or related management support for publicly funded research and innovation activity in the UK.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 7 April 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded to Round Tower Consulting Limited on 27 May 2025 for £3,740 including the stated currency, GBP. The award covers a contract period from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Round Tower Consulting Limited is the selected supplier. The stated tender value and awarded value are both £3,740; no separate lots or additional awards are identified in the procurement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for small-scale project-supervision support within UK Research & Innovation and shows that the buyer uses a dynamic purchasing system for this type of work. A credible competitor would need practical experience supervising projects outside construction, with the ability to provide structured oversight, track progress, coordinate activity and communicate clear management information to a public-sector client. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist consultancy rather than only a large professional services firm. Firms already qualified for the relevant dynamic purchasing system, or able to meet its participation requirements, are best placed to compete for comparable work from this buyer.
