Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for work other than construction, under Project 10186881. The requirement falls within the services category and covers supervision of a specific project rather than the delivery of construction works. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation. The procurement was intended to suit small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The identified service is relevant to project-management consultancies and specialists providing structured oversight, coordination, progress monitoring and reporting for publicly funded research or innovation projects. Businesses considering similar work should note that the buyer uses a dynamic purchasing system for these requirements.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 23 April 2026 at 5pm. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The awarded value is £3,400. UK Research & Innovation awarded the contract to Quodit Ltd, an SME, on 5 May 2026. The award is active and covers the full requirement. The published procurement information identifies project-supervision services as the classification and services as the main category. The recorded procurement value and award value are both £3,400, with the award covering the same six-month contract period.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of UK Research & Innovation’s demand for focused, small-scale project-supervision support outside construction. A credible competitor would need to show practical experience supervising projects, coordinating stakeholders, tracking delivery against objectives, identifying risks and issues, and producing clear progress reports for a public-sector buyer. The requirement is suitable for an SME, so a smaller consultancy or specialist provider could compete where it can demonstrate reliable delivery, disciplined project controls and the capacity to support the specified work. Familiarity with call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system would also be commercially relevant, including the ability to respond efficiently to defined requirements and supply proportionate evidence of capability.
