Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than for construction work. The requirement covers supervision activity for two UK research and innovation projects, with delivery across the United Kingdom. It is a services procurement intended to support the oversight and management of project activity rather than construction delivery. The buyer is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, and the selected supplier is Prism Nova Limited, an Eastleigh-based small business. The requirement is relevant to firms providing project supervision, monitoring or related project-management support for public-sector research and innovation programmes, particularly those able to operate across the UK and work with a national research funding organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids closed at 5pm on 5 June 2026, and the award was made to Prism Nova Limited on 10 June 2026. The awarded contract value is £3,100 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 January 2027. Prism Nova Limited is the sole named awardee. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is classified as a services procurement for project-supervision services other than construction work, and the tender had an estimated value of £3,100.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation buys focused project-supervision support for research and innovation projects through its dynamic purchasing system. Competitors seeking comparable work would need a clear ability to supervise and monitor project delivery outside construction, provide dependable reporting and oversight, and support publicly funded programmes. The requirement was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so a specialist firm can be credible without being a large national contractor. Experience of working with public-sector or research organisations, disciplined project controls, and the capacity to manage more than one project at a time would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s similar requirement.
