Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for Projects 10200103 and 10200350. The requirement covers supervision and oversight of projects other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100, within the services category. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon. This is a focused professional-services requirement rather than a construction delivery contract, so it is relevant to consultancies and specialist providers that oversee project progress, coordination and delivery for public-sector or research-related programmes. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the requirement was open to suppliers operating at SME scale.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective procedure, specifically a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded to Mayflower Innovation on 16 June 2026 for £4,499, with the contract period running from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 5 June 2026 at 5pm. The procurement is complete and the award is active. The recorded requirement covers one service package for project supervision. The published outcome identifies Mayflower Innovation as the selected supplier and records an awarded value of £4,499 in GBP. The process therefore provides a clear example of UKRI sourcing this type of specialist project oversight through its dynamic purchasing system.

This award is commercially relevant to SMEs providing project supervision and related project-management oversight, particularly those able to support UKRI programmes or comparable public-sector research activity. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of supervising projects other than construction work, maintaining delivery oversight and coordinating project activity for a defined service requirement. The buyer’s use of a selective dynamic-purchasing-system call-off shows that suppliers may need to qualify for and operate through an established purchasing route, rather than relying only on open tender responses. The modest contract scale indicates that smaller specialist consultancies may be well placed, especially where they can provide focused expertise without the infrastructure associated with large construction or programme-management contractors.
