Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services for a project identified as 10180346. The work is categorised as services and is described only as project supervision outside construction; no further tasks or outputs are set out. The stated delivery country is the United Kingdom, with no more specific delivery location identified. UK Research & Innovation is the buyer. This requirement concerns oversight and coordination of a project rather than construction supervision, making it relevant to providers of project-management or project-supervision services whose work covers non-construction projects. The procurement was made as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so it was a defined requirement placed through that purchasing route rather than a standalone open competition.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Mayflower Innovation. The award was made on 18 September 2026. The awarded value is £4,982. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028. The stated tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026 at 5pm. The buyer used a selective procedure, with the requirement called off from a dynamic purchasing system. The overall estimated value was also £4,982. The procurement is described as one project-supervision services requirement; no separate lots are recorded. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to take part, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The available evaluation information does not set out a scoring basis or award criteria.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation buys project supervision for non-construction projects through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system. The successful supplier, Mayflower Innovation, is recorded as an SME, and SMEs were considered suitable for the competition, indicating that this kind of requirement can be within reach of smaller providers rather than being inherently limited to large contractors. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to supervise and coordinate a defined project over a sustained delivery period, and to meet the buyer’s requirements for participation in the relevant purchasing system. The published scope is brief, so it does not establish particular professional accreditations, staffing levels, specialist disciplines or technical methods as requirements. Providers with relevant project-supervision experience and capacity to support UK Research & Innovation’s project needs are the closest fit.
