Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for a project identified as 83041518. The published scope contains no further description of the project or the supervision tasks, so the requirement can only be characterised at this level. The work is associated with the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is identified. UK Research & Innovation is the buyer. This is a services contract, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The stated service classification is project-supervision services other than for construction work (CPV 79421100). The contract was placed with IFS MO Company, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement is therefore relevant to suppliers that provide project-supervision services for public research and innovation programmes, particularly firms able to deliver the buyer’s project-specific supervision requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to IFS MO Company. UK Research & Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award date was 30 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £4,965. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 January 2029. The tender response deadline was 4 September 2026 at 17:00. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, and the recorded service category is project supervision. No lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are provided in the process data, so the reported outcome is a single award rather than separate lot awards. The selected supplier is identified as an SME; the available award information does not state the scored criteria or explain how competing offers were assessed.

The award provides a concrete example of UK Research & Innovation buying project-supervision services through a call-off from its dynamic purchasing system, rather than through a standalone open competition. A small or medium-sized supplier was selected for this requirement, indicating that a large corporate supplier is not necessarily needed for work at this scale. Firms seeking comparable work from this buyer would need to demonstrate credible project-supervision capability and be able to meet the relevant project’s delivery requirements. The stated scope is limited to project-supervision services, so suppliers whose expertise is confined to construction supervision or unrelated consultancy would not be a close fit. This outcome is most useful to SMEs already positioned to provide supervision services in a research and innovation context and to participate in the buyer’s purchasing route. The specific project tasks and assessment criteria are not described in the available procurement information.
