Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for projects 10201830 and 10201742. The requirement is a professional service rather than construction work itself, focused on supervising project delivery. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation, and the stated delivery country is the United Kingdom. The classification is project-supervision services other than for construction work (CPV 79421100).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Sula Innovation Ltd. The award was made on 28 September 2026. The contract is valued at £13,320 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. The original estimated procurement value was also £13,320. The requirement was competed through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The stated tender deadline was 15 September 2026 at 5pm. The available evaluation information does not describe specific scoring criteria. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It covered the project-supervision requirement for the two named projects.

For suppliers who did not win, this award shows that UK Research & Innovation buys project-supervision services through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, with work covering project delivery rather than construction. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to supervise projects effectively and provide a professional service across the relevant project requirements. The selected supplier, Sula Innovation Ltd, is an SME, and the procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs; this indicates that businesses of smaller scale can compete for this type of work. Suppliers with experience supporting research and innovation projects, and the capacity to oversee delivery across more than one project, are well placed to meet a similar requirement. The procurement provides evidence of demand for this specific service from this buyer.
