Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is for professional oversight and supervision of a project, rather than construction delivery itself. The service is categorised as a public-sector service and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation. The procurement is relevant to consultancies and specialist project-management providers able to supervise projects for a national research and innovation organisation. It may also suit smaller firms: the requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, GrowthMesh Limited, is an SME based in Nottingham.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. UK Research & Innovation selected GrowthMesh Limited through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 28 August 2026 for £6,180, and the contract is due to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The tender submission deadline was 18 August 2026 at 5pm. The procurement’s estimated value was also £6,180. This was a services contract for a single requirement, with no separate lots identified. The published outcome records the award as active. The process therefore demonstrates the buyer’s use of a dynamic purchasing system to appoint a project-supervision provider for a defined two-year period.

This outcome is commercially relevant to SMEs and specialist consultancies providing project supervision, project management oversight or related assurance services to public-sector research and innovation bodies. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the people, methods and governance needed to supervise projects reliably, monitor progress and provide clear oversight to the buyer. Experience of working with public-sector clients, handling structured reporting and managing delivery over a sustained contract period would strengthen its position. Providers should also be comfortable securing work through a dynamic purchasing system and responding to selective call-offs rather than relying only on open tendering. The award gives an indication of the scale and focused nature of this buyer’s requirement.
