Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation commissioned project-supervision services for two projects. The work covers supervision and oversight of projects rather than construction activity, and is categorised under CPV 79421100. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based at Polaris House in Swindon, England. This is a professional services requirement for a supplier able to oversee project activity, coordinate delivery and provide supervision services for the buyer’s projects. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is not designated for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The requirement concerns services, rather than goods or construction works, and is linked to UK-wide delivery rather than a single named site.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 7 August 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded on 19 August 2026 to Spark Assessment Services Limited for £10,270. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The awarded value and contract period apply to the single recorded award covering the two projects. The procurement was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system call-off process. Spark Assessment Services Limited is recorded as an active supplier, and the tender itself has complete status. The award was published on 16 September 2026.

This award confirms demand from UK Research & Innovation for external project-supervision services covering more than one project and requiring delivery across the United Kingdom. It provides a useful benchmark for suppliers that did not win this procurement when assessing their position for comparable work from the same buyer. A credible competitor would need demonstrable experience supervising and overseeing projects, the ability to manage work across multiple assignments, and sufficient operational capacity to provide a consistent service for a public research and innovation organisation. The requirement is identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist consultancies with relevant project-supervision capability may be well placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns to market.
