Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation commissioned project-supervision services other than construction supervision. The requirement is classified under CPV 79421100 and falls within the services category. The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom for UK Research & Innovation, whose address is Polaris House in Swindon. The procurement relates to Project 10186561 and concerns supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction activity. The buyer is a public research and innovation organisation, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide structured project supervision for publicly funded research, innovation or related programmes. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the selected supplier, Mayflower Innovation, is recorded as an SME.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 23 April 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded to Mayflower Innovation on 1 May 2026. The awarded value is £2,939. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 September 2027. The award is active and covers the same project-supervision services for UK Research & Innovation. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one award. The procurement’s stated suitability position confirms that SMEs could participate. The source data does not set out a separate quality, price or weighted evaluation basis.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement is useful evidence of UK Research & Innovation’s demand for external project-supervision support at a modest, defined scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show practical experience supervising projects, maintaining oversight of delivery, tracking progress and reporting clearly to a public-sector research and innovation buyer. The SME suitability designation indicates that this type of work can be accessible to smaller specialist consultancies rather than only large providers. Relevant businesses should be able to demonstrate dependable project controls, organised stakeholder management and the capacity to support a single UK-wide requirement over a sustained contract period. Experience in publicly funded research, innovation or comparable programme environments would strengthen their position.
