Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process was initiated by UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England, and concerns a selective tender titled "ITT for project 10179612". The procurement is classified under the CPV code 79421100, which relates to project-supervision services other than for construction work. The process concluded with an award in the 'Award' stage on 26 January 2026, after a tender closing date on 15 January 2026. The contract with successful bidder Sandhills Management Consultancy Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise, is for a period starting from 1 March 2026 to 29 February 2028, with a total value of £3,715. The procurement method employed was a 'Call-off from a dynamic purchasing system', indicating a selective and pre-qualified pool of suppliers.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in project supervision, particularly those in the consultancy sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises, such as Sandhills Management Consultancy Limited, are especially well-suited, as the procurement is open to SMEs, providing them with a platform to strengthen their portfolio through collaboration with a key national research organisation like UK Research & Innovation. Enterprises capable of delivering high-quality project-supervision services outside of the construction industry in the UK would benefit greatly from engaging in similar tenders, bolstering their business growth and enhancing their market presence.
