Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for two projects. The work is classified as project supervision other than for construction, indicating supervision of projects outside construction work. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, and the delivery location is stated as the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as a service. The project descriptions do not explain the subject matter or activities involved in the two projects, so the defined scope is limited to project supervision. The awarded supplier, A Gunn Consulting, is a small business.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to A Gunn Consulting on 10 September 2026. The awarded value is £2,475. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 January 2027. The work was called off from a dynamic purchasing system using a selective procedure. The original tender deadline was 1 September 2026 at 5pm. The opportunity was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and unsuitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The tender covers two projects under one award; the published information gives no separate values or awards for each project. No evaluation criteria or scoring basis are described, so the award basis cannot be established from the stated procurement details.

For suppliers considering similar future work for UK Research & Innovation, this award shows demand for project-supervision services across two projects, procured through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. A small consultancy was selected, indicating that the requirement was delivered at a scale a small supplier could serve. Credible competitors would need to provide project-supervision capability suited to work outside construction and be able to support more than one project within a single commission. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable participants. The published details do not identify particular professional qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or past-performance requirements, so these should not be treated as established prerequisites for comparable work.
