Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for four projects, covering work other than construction supervision. The requirement falls within professional project management and oversight services, supporting the monitoring, coordination and delivery of project activity. Services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation. The opportunity is categorised as a service rather than goods or works, and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is relevant to consultancies and project-management providers that supervise publicly funded or otherwise complex projects, coordinate delivery across multiple workstreams, and provide structured oversight and reporting. Its focus is project supervision rather than construction management, so firms whose main capability is construction site supervision may not be well matched.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. UK Research & Innovation used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids had to be submitted by 8 July 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to Growthmesh Limited on 16 July 2026 for £43,562.50. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2030. The award covers the four-project project-supervision requirement, with one supplier recorded. The procurement was treated as a service contract and the award is active. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and awarded amount, but does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis. The process therefore shows the route used and the commercial outcome, rather than an ongoing purchasing opportunity.

This award provides a useful benchmark for firms targeting future project-supervision work with UK Research & Innovation. A credible competitor would need demonstrable capability in supervising non-construction projects, coordinating several projects within one requirement, and maintaining effective oversight from mobilisation through delivery. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national consultancy. Relevant businesses should be able to show disciplined project management, reliable monitoring and reporting, clear communication with public-sector stakeholders, and sufficient capacity to support multiple projects over a sustained period. Experience of comparable public-sector, research, innovation or grant-funded programmes would strengthen a future response, where evidenced.
