Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation bought project-supervision services for two projects. The requirement is identified only as project supervision; the procurement gives no further breakdown of the tasks, outputs or purpose. The work is associated with UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, and delivery is stated to be in the United Kingdom without a more specific location. This is a services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. The classification describes project supervision other than for construction work, so suppliers whose experience is limited to construction-site supervision may not match the stated scope. The buyer’s identity and the two project references make this a requirement for project oversight within UKRI, rather than a general call for project-management services across unrelated organisations or sectors.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Helix Projects Limited through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, using a selective process. The award was made on 27 July 2026. The awarded value is £9,010. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The original tender deadline was 10 July 2026 at 5pm. The procurement covers the two project references in its title, with no division into separately described lots. The stated evaluation basis and detailed eligibility requirements are not set out in the process information. The buyer marked the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. Helix Projects Limited is the selected supplier; the award is recorded as active.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation procures project-supervision support for its projects through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, and that a small or medium-sized supplier has been selected for this requirement. For suppliers preparing to compete for comparable UKRI project oversight, relevant experience supervising projects outside construction work would be directly pertinent. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that it can provide effective oversight across the defined project scope and deliver consistently over a multi-year engagement. The procurement does not disclose technical tasks, qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or detailed evaluation criteria, so it does not establish any particular credential or capacity threshold. The selected supplier’s success demonstrates demand for this type of service, but does not indicate that the same provider profile or contract terms will apply to other UKRI requirements.
