Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation commissioned project-supervision services other than construction supervision, covering projects 10206067 and 10205139. The work supports oversight and supervision of projects rather than construction delivery itself. It is a services requirement delivered in the United Kingdom, with UKRI as the buying organisation. The procurement is relevant to firms providing project monitoring, assurance, coordination and supervision services for research, innovation or other publicly funded projects. The stated classification is CPV 79421100. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that a specialist SME could be an appropriate provider where it can demonstrate the necessary project-supervision capability and capacity. The selected supplier, TÜV SÜD (UK) Limited, is identified as an SME.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids closed at 17:00 on 23 July 2026. UKRI awarded the contract to TÜV SÜD (UK) Limited on 4 August 2026 for £8,260 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Evaluation was conducted through the dynamic purchasing system call-off process; the published data does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The award is active and the tender status is complete. This is one awarded requirement covering the two named projects, rather than separate awards or lots. The recorded contract value and period are the same as those attached to the award.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for specialist project-supervision services delivered through its dynamic purchasing system. A competitor considering future requirements from this buyer would need a credible capability to supervise and monitor projects, maintain effective oversight, and provide dependable reporting or assurance to a public-sector client. The work is suitable for an SME, so a focused specialist business may be able to compete without the scale of a major construction or professional-services group. The selected provider’s SME status shows that a smaller supplier can be viewed as capable for this type of requirement. Relevant experience should be clearly evidenced against project supervision, particularly for research, innovation or other complex publicly funded projects delivered across the United Kingdom.
