Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured project-supervision services for a UK-based project. The work is classified as services and concerns project supervision outside construction. The requirement is identified as Project 10205758; no further description of the project’s purpose or supervision tasks is provided in the procurement details. UKRI is the buying organisation, based in Swindon, and delivery is stated to be in the United Kingdom. This is a specialist professional-services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Spark Assessment Services Limited. The award was made on 22 September 2026, following a selective procedure using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The awarded value is £2,920. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 30 April 2028. The original tender deadline was 2 September 2026 at 17:00. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and unsuitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lots or evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates UKRI’s use of a dynamic purchasing system to buy project-supervision services outside construction. A future competitor would need to be able to provide focused supervision services for a defined project, and to participate through the relevant purchasing system call-off route. The award went to a supplier identified as an SME, showing that a smaller specialist business was selected for this requirement. The available scope is limited to project supervision; businesses whose core offer is construction delivery, general consultancy without supervision capability, or unrelated services are less closely aligned. Firms with a credible track record supervising projects for public research or innovation organisations would be well placed to assess similar requirements from UKRI.
