Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is for supervising and overseeing a project rather than delivering construction activity itself. The service is categorised as professional services and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The buyer is UK Research and Innovation, a public research and innovation organisation. The procurement concerns a single project requirement identified as project 10204364. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are firms providing project supervision, project management oversight or related monitoring services for public-sector or research-focused programmes. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that a smaller specialist consultancy could provide an appropriate supplier profile for this type of work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 17 August 2026 to DNA IOT Limited. The contract value is £7,384, with a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. The tender submission deadline was 6 August 2026 at 5pm. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than an open standalone competition. The awarded supplier is DNA IOT Limited. The available procurement information identifies the requirement as project-supervision services and records the overall estimated tender value as £7,384. The award is active, and the contract period matches the period recorded for the procurement. No separate lots or additional award recipients are recorded.

This award provides a clear benchmark for firms targeting UK Research and Innovation’s project-supervision requirements. A credible competitor would need to supervise and monitor project delivery, provide structured oversight, and report clearly to a public research-sector client. The modest contract scale indicates that a focused specialist consultancy or small project-management provider could be competitive, rather than only a large national contractor. Relevant capability is likely to include disciplined project controls, progress monitoring, risk and issue management, governance reporting and communication with stakeholders. Suppliers should be able to work within a dynamic purchasing system call-off route and demonstrate dependable delivery of defined supervision services. The successful supplier’s SME status also shows that this type of requirement can suit smaller businesses with focused project oversight capability.
