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 a service supporting the supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction delivery itself. The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation, based at Polaris House in Swindon. The procurement is categorised as services and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was a single requirement, with no separate delivery locations or wider scope described. Businesses involved in project oversight, programme coordination, project controls, reporting, governance or related consultancy would find the subject matter relevant, particularly where their work covers research and innovation projects or public sector programmes.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Responses were due by 27 May 2026 at 5pm. UK Research & Innovation awarded the contract to Mike Briggs Consultancy on 4 June 2026. The awarded value is £3,880. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The award is active. The evaluation basis is not described beyond the use of the dynamic purchasing system call-off route. The outcome shows a single supplier receiving the full stated requirement; the published award value and contract period are those attached to that award. The contract therefore represents a small, defined project-supervision engagement lasting one year.

This award is evidence of demand from UK Research & Innovation for focused project-supervision consultancy that can be delivered by an SME. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide practical project oversight, clear progress reporting, effective coordination and sufficient governance discipline to support a public research and innovation organisation. Experience of supervising projects, managing risks and issues, tracking actions and milestones, and communicating confidently with public sector stakeholders would be commercially relevant. The successful supplier is a consultancy rather than a large corporate provider, indicating that a small specialist business can meet this type of requirement. Firms with demonstrable project-management capability, concise reporting methods and the capacity to deliver a discrete consultancy assignment should monitor this buyer’s purchasing activity and prepare evidence of comparable work.
