Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation commissioned project-supervision services for a project. The requirement is classified as services and relates to supervision outside construction work; the project title is recorded only as an internal project reference, so the specific activities and intended outcomes are not described. The delivery location is stated at country level as the United Kingdom, with no more precise place identified. UK Research & Innovation is the buyer. This is a professional services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction works, and is relevant to suppliers providing project oversight or supervision services for research and innovation projects.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Helix Projects Limited. The award was made on 11 August 2026, following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The stated award value is £5,415. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The earlier tender submission deadline was 30 July 2026 at 5pm. The requirement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots are identified. The published information gives no specific evaluation criteria, eligibility thresholds or detailed project scope, so the outcome establishes the selected supplier and commercial scale but not the factors on which its proposal was preferred.

For suppliers who did not win, this award is evidence that UK Research & Innovation buys project-supervision services through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system. The selected provider, Helix Projects Limited, is itself recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller business has delivered this requirement. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to demonstrate practical capability in supervising projects outside construction, and the capacity to support UKRI’s project needs over a defined contract period. The available description does not establish a particular sector specialism, accreditation, staffing profile or technical method, so these should not be assumed to be requirements. The opportunity’s modest scale points to a focused service engagement rather than a large programme of work.
