Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation bought project supervision services other than construction work for a UK-wide requirement. The work supports oversight and management of a specific project, rather than construction delivery itself. It falls within the services category and was managed by UK Research & Innovation, whose registered address is in Swindon, England. The requirement is relevant to consultancies and independent specialists providing project supervision, project monitoring or related delivery oversight. The scope is focused and specialist rather than a broad programme of general management services. Suppliers considering similar work for this buyer should be able to provide project supervision expertise suitable for delivery across the United Kingdom.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 20 May 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to John Heywood Consulting on 3 June 2026 for £2,675 including the published GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The award is active and matches the tender value. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not identified as suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win, this award is useful evidence that UK Research & Innovation buys focused project supervision services through its dynamic purchasing system. The requirement is modest in scale and suited to an SME, so credible competitors are likely to be specialist consultancies or experienced independent practitioners rather than large delivery organisations. Relevant capability includes supervising project activity, monitoring progress, identifying delivery issues and providing clear oversight to the buyer. A future competitor would need a demonstrable track record in project supervision outside construction, the capacity to support a defined UK requirement, and the ability to work effectively through a dynamic purchasing system call-off.
