Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is for supervision and oversight of a project, rather than construction delivery itself. The service is delivered in the United Kingdom for UK Research & Innovation, which is based in Swindon, England. The procurement falls within the services category and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is S L S Darling Limited, a small enterprise based in Whitbourne, Worcestershire. This is therefore relevant to consultancies and specialist project-management businesses able to provide project supervision services for a UK public research and innovation body.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids closed on 11 June 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to S L S Darling Limited on 22 June 2026 for £5,780. The awarded contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 October 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £5,780. The award is active, and the requirement was treated as a single project-supervision services opportunity delivered in the United Kingdom. The published outcome confirms one selected supplier for the requirement.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation uses a dynamic purchasing system to source discrete project-supervision assignments, including work suitable for smaller suppliers. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable capability in supervising and overseeing projects, managing delivery against agreed requirements, and providing clear reporting to a public research and innovation organisation. Experience working with public-sector governance, evidence-based monitoring, stakeholder coordination and disciplined project controls would strengthen a supplier’s position, provided those capabilities can be evidenced in the procurement response. Businesses already qualified for, or able to access, comparable dynamic purchasing system opportunities may be well placed to compete through the same route.
