Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation is buying project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is for supervision and oversight of a project delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. This is a services procurement rather than a goods supply or construction contract. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it is relevant to consultancies and independent specialists able to provide project-supervision expertise for public-sector research, innovation or related programmes. The stated scope is limited to project supervision outside construction work, rather than construction project management or building works themselves.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded on 3 June 2026. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 27 May 2026 at 5pm. Lyn Dutton Consulting was selected, with an awarded value of £7,550. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender had a total stated value of £7,550. The award is recorded as active and the tender status is complete. The available process information identifies the procurement route and the successful supplier, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or named evaluation criteria.

For businesses that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of UK Research & Innovation’s demand for specialist project-supervision services outside construction work. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable capability in supervising projects, monitoring delivery and providing reliable oversight to a public-sector research and innovation organisation. The buyer’s use of a dynamic purchasing system call-off shows that suppliers need to understand and participate effectively in that route, rather than relying only on a standalone open tender. The SME suitability classification indicates that a focused consultancy or specialist small business can be an appropriate market participant, provided it can deliver the required service in the United Kingdom.
