Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement concerns supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction delivery itself. Services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom for UK Research and Innovation, the buying organisation headquartered at Polaris House in Swindon, England. This is a professional services opportunity suited to organisations that provide project supervision, coordination, monitoring and delivery oversight in a public research and innovation environment. The procurement is categorised as services, with the requirement presented as a single project engagement identified as project 10205049.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 6 August 2026 at 17:00. UK Research and Innovation awarded the contract to Cursive Thought Ltd on 14 August 2026 for £7,063. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2030. The awarded requirement is project-supervision services other than construction work, and the procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active. The award outcome reflects the single stated contract value and supplier; no additional awards or lots are identified.

This award provides a clear example of UK Research and Innovation buying project-supervision expertise through its dynamic purchasing system. Competitors targeting similar requirements would need to demonstrate credible capability in supervising and overseeing projects, with practical arrangements for monitoring progress, coordinating delivery and maintaining effective control throughout the assignment. A supplier should be able to operate in a UK-wide delivery context and present a proportionate service for a relatively focused professional-services requirement. The successful supplier is an SME, showing that this type of work can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only by a large consultancy. Relevant experience with public-sector, research or innovation projects would help establish credibility when comparable requirements return.
