Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation bought project-supervision services for seven projects. The requirement covers overseeing and coordinating project activity other than construction work, supporting the buyer’s management of projects delivered in the United Kingdom. It is a professional service rather than a supply of goods or construction works. The buyer is UK Research and Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The opportunity is relevant to consultancies and specialist service providers that supervise projects, provide project-management oversight or support the monitoring and control of externally delivered project work. The procurement was classified under CPV 79421100, covering project-supervision services other than for construction work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research and Innovation used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 12 March 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded to Assentian Limited on 25 March 2026 for £10,895. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 July 2026. The recorded tender value is also £10,895. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Assentian Limited is the selected supplier, and the award is active. The requirement was treated as a services procurement delivered in the United Kingdom.

This award provides a clear example of UK Research and Innovation’s demand for project-supervision support across several projects, delivered through its dynamic purchasing system. Competitors would need credible experience overseeing multiple projects and the capacity to provide structured supervision, coordination and monitoring across the requirement. A suitable supplier would be expected to operate as a professional project-services provider, with methods for tracking activity, supporting delivery and reporting to a public-sector buyer. The procurement was suitable for SMEs, indicating that specialist smaller consultancies can be relevant where they can demonstrate the necessary project-supervision capability and reliable capacity for a multi-project assignment.
