Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project supervision services for work other than construction. The requirement covers supervision and oversight of a project, rather than construction activity itself, and falls within the services category. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement relates to a single service requirement, with no separate service areas or locations identified. Businesses with experience supervising projects for public research or innovation organisations would find the subject matter most relevant, particularly those able to provide structured oversight across UK activity.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded on 8 July 2026 to Spark Assessment Services Limited for £4,800. The awarded contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system call-off process. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £4,800, in GBP. There was one award and one supplier: Spark Assessment Services Limited, an SME based in Oxfordshire.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for independent project supervision services from UK Research & Innovation, delivered at a modest contract scale and through a dynamic purchasing system. It is relevant to small project-management, programme-assurance and assessment businesses that can supervise delivery, monitor progress, identify issues and provide clear reporting. A credible future competitor would need to show practical experience overseeing projects, organising evidence and communicating findings to a public-sector buyer. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only a large consultancy. Firms already qualified to use the relevant dynamic purchasing system would be best placed to pursue comparable opportunities from this buyer.
