Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for six projects: 10185913, 10182583, 10184467, 10186521, 10182744 and 10186594. The requirement covers supervision and oversight of project delivery rather than construction work itself, classified under CPV 79421100. The services are delivered across the United Kingdom and support UKRI as the buying organisation. This is a services opportunity for consultancies and individual specialists able to oversee multiple projects, monitor delivery and provide structured supervision to a public research and innovation organisation. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller project-management and programme-support businesses with the capacity to manage a group of concurrent assignments.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 20 May 2026 at 5pm. UKRI awarded the contract to A Gunn Consulting on 4 June 2026 for £29,446. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Evaluation resulted in one active award and one supplier. The opportunity was handled as a single services requirement covering the six named projects, rather than separate awards. It is therefore a completed procurement with a defined delivery period and an awarded value that indicates the scale of the supervision assignment for the selected supplier.

This award is useful market evidence for project-supervision consultancies targeting UKRI and similar public research organisations. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate practical capability in supervising several projects at once, maintaining oversight across different assignments and providing clear assurance on progress and delivery. The requirement favours a focused SME or specialist consultancy able to operate through a dynamic purchasing system and respond to selective call-offs. Relevant experience should include project governance, monitoring, reporting, issue escalation and coordination with public-sector stakeholders. Businesses with disciplined delivery controls and the capacity to support multiple UK-based projects would be better placed to compete when comparable supervision requirements return to the market.
