Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for work other than construction. The requirement is classified under CPV 79421100 and falls within the services category. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement supports UKRI’s need for external project supervision, rather than construction delivery itself. The named buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs. This is relevant to consultancies and professional services firms providing project oversight, coordination, monitoring and related management support, particularly those able to work with a UK public research and innovation organisation and deliver supervision services across the UK.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Nidd Consulting Ltd. The award date was 24 June 2026, for £7,820 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2028. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 11 June 2026 at 17:00. Evaluation resulted in one active award to the named supplier. The procurement was treated as a single services requirement, with the same value and contract period applying to the award. The outcome demonstrates that UKRI appointed an SME for a multi-year project-supervision requirement outside construction work.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award indicates a defined market for specialist project-supervision services within UKRI and shows that the buyer uses a dynamic purchasing system call-off to source this work. A credible competitor would need demonstrable experience supervising projects outside construction, with the professional judgement to monitor delivery, coordinate stakeholders, identify issues and provide clear progress oversight. The requirement is accessible to SMEs, so a smaller consultancy with relevant public-sector, research, innovation or programme-management experience could be competitive when a comparable need returns. Firms should also be able to operate within a dynamic purchasing system framework and manage a sustained service for a public research organisation, rather than offering one-off advisory work only.
