Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work for project 10185783, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is a service rather than goods or construction, focused on supervising and overseeing a project. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. UK Research and Innovation is the buying organisation. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not identified as a suitable organisation type for this requirement. The published scope is concise, so businesses assessing relevance should focus on their ability to provide project supervision services for UK Research and Innovation and to support the specific project requirement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 20 May 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded to John Heywood Consulting on 29 May 2026 for £2,600. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender’s stated value was also £2,600. The award is active, and the tender was recorded as complete. The opportunity was evaluated through the selective dynamic purchasing system call-off route. No separate lots, additional award criteria or contract extensions are identified in the procurement details.

This award provides a clear indication that UK Research and Innovation buys relatively focused project-supervision support through its dynamic purchasing system. A competing supplier would need to offer project supervision services rather than construction delivery, and be able to work with a UK public research and innovation organisation. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, and the selected supplier is recorded as an SME, showing that the work can be delivered by a smaller specialist consultancy. Credibility for a future requirement of this type would therefore depend on demonstrating relevant project-supervision capability, reliable oversight and delivery arrangements, and the ability to operate within the buyer’s purchasing system and call-off process. The requirement is specific rather than broad construction management.
