Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is a services contract supporting project supervision rather than construction delivery itself. The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller project-management, programme-support and consultancy businesses with experience supervising projects. The selected supplier, A Gunn Consulting, is based in Uddingston, Glasgow, and is recorded as an SME. The requirement therefore indicates demand for specialist project-supervision capability that can be delivered by a small consultancy or similarly sized services provider.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The submission deadline was 20 May 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to A Gunn Consulting on 4 June 2026 for £2,535. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The procurement’s estimated value was also £2,535. The award is recorded as active. The contracting process was for a single project-supervision services requirement delivered in the United Kingdom. The published information identifies the service category and procurement route, while the award outcome confirms the appointed supplier and agreed contract value and period.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation uses a dynamic purchasing system to obtain focused project-supervision support through relatively small, time-limited assignments. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide project-supervision services rather than construction work, understand how to oversee project activity for a public research and innovation organisation, and operate effectively within a selective dynamic-purchasing-system call-off. The buyer has demonstrated that an SME can win this type of work, so a small consultancy with relevant project-supervision experience and the capacity to deliver a defined assignment could be well placed. The opportunity is particularly relevant to businesses whose core offer is practical project oversight and consultancy support.
