Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation commissioned project-supervision services, excluding construction supervision, for projects 10184638, 10186002, 10183834, 10183239 and 10182142. The work is classified under CPV 79421100 and is a professional services requirement supporting the oversight and coordination of these projects. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist consultancies and independent project-management providers with the capacity to supervise multiple public-sector projects. The selected supplier, Starmed Consult Limited, is itself recorded as an SME, providing a useful indication of the scale and organisational profile that has met this buyer’s requirement.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids were due by 20 May 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded to Starmed Consult Limited on 3 June 2026 for £17,555 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The award is recorded as active and covers the project-supervision services for the five identified UK Research & Innovation projects. The outcome provides a clear example of this buyer using its dynamic purchasing system to procure a defined, short-term project-supervision requirement from an SME supplier.

Although this contract has been awarded, it is commercially useful evidence for consultancies tracking UK Research & Innovation. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in project supervision outside construction, with the organisation and capacity to manage several project assignments for a public research and innovation body. The requirement indicates that an SME can satisfy this buyer at a modest, focused scale, rather than needing the resources of a major contractor. Familiarity with call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system would also be important: suppliers need to understand the system’s participation requirements and respond efficiently to defined project briefs. Relevant experience should show reliable oversight, coordination, reporting and delivery across UK-based projects.
