Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement covered supervision and oversight of three projects identified as 10192481, 10192287 and 10193687. It was a services contract delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The procurement was intended for project-supervision specialists rather than construction contractors, with the work focused on managing or overseeing project delivery. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Starmed Consult Limited, is also recorded as an SME, indicating that the work was structured so that a smaller consultancy could undertake it.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 25 March 2026 to Starmed Consult Limited. The award value was £5,560, and the contract period ran from 1 April 2026 to 31 July 2026. Bids closed at 17:00 on 12 March 2026. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The requirement was treated as a single procurement covering the three named projects, rather than separate awards. The published award is active. The recorded evaluation outcome is the selection of Starmed Consult Limited; the available procurement information does not set out weighted price, quality or other detailed scoring criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research & Innovation for a focused project-supervision consultancy covering several projects within one assignment. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to show practical capability in supervising projects, coordinating delivery activity and providing clear oversight to a public-sector research and innovation organisation. The requirement appears accessible to SMEs: the procurement expressly identified SME suitability and the appointed supplier is an SME. Suppliers with a concise public-sector project-supervision offer, the capacity to manage multiple concurrent project references and an understanding of UK Research & Innovation’s operating environment would be well placed when similar requirements are considered. The route also shows that relevant suppliers may need to qualify for, or operate through, a dynamic purchasing system.
