Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement covers supervision for five projects identified as 10185174, 10182985, 10185677, 10184256 and 10186526. This is a services contract delivered in the United Kingdom. The work is intended to provide project oversight and supervision across the buyer’s project portfolio rather than construction delivery itself. UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, is the buying organisation. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist project-management consultancies and other firms able to supervise multiple research, innovation or public-sector projects across the UK.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 23 April 2026 at 17:00. UK Research & Innovation awarded the contract to Braintomic Ltd on 13 May 2026. The awarded value is £18,428 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2028. The tender’s estimated value was also £18,428. The award is active, and the procurement covered one service requirement for the five named projects. The process was identified as suitable for SMEs, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win, this award provides a clear example of UK Research & Innovation’s demand for outsourced supervision of several projects through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor would need to manage project oversight across a portfolio, coordinate reporting and governance, and provide reliable delivery for a public-sector research and innovation organisation. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large consultancy. Firms with demonstrable project-supervision capability, sufficient capacity to handle multiple concurrent assignments, and experience working with public-sector or research-led programmes would be well placed when a comparable requirement returns.
