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 is a professional service supporting the supervision and management of projects rather than construction delivery itself. The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. UK Research and Innovation is the buying organisation. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the requirement was sized and structured to allow an SME to provide the service. The appointed supplier was A Gunn Consulting, based in Uddingston, Glasgow. This opportunity is relevant to consultancies and independent advisers with experience overseeing projects, coordinating delivery, monitoring progress and providing structured management support for a UK research and innovation organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 20 May 2026 at 5:00pm. The contract was awarded to A Gunn Consulting on 3 June 2026 for £3,115 GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The award is active. The original estimated tender value was also £3,115 GBP. The published process records a single service requirement and a single supplier award. It was categorised as a services procurement and was conducted through the dynamic purchasing system route rather than an open competition. The stated requirement concerns project supervision services other than construction work.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from UK Research and Innovation for focused, short-term project-supervision support that can be delivered by an SME-sized consultancy. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need practical experience supervising projects outside construction, with the ability to organise delivery, monitor progress, manage actions and risks, maintain clear records, and provide concise reporting to the buyer. The small award size indicates a requirement that may suit an independent consultant or compact specialist practice rather than a large delivery team. Suppliers would also need to understand how to work with a public research and innovation organisation and be capable of delivering professional oversight across the United Kingdom.
