Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is for professional oversight and coordination of a project, rather than construction delivery itself. Services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement sits within the services category and was intended to be suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The selected supplier, Assentian Limited, is a Doncaster-based SME. This is a focused professional-services requirement for businesses that supervise projects, track delivery and provide structured oversight to a public research and innovation organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids were due by 11 June 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to Assentian Limited on 23 June 2026 for £7,350 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2030. The requirement was evaluated as a project-supervision service, with the procurement classified as services and the opportunity identified as suitable for SMEs. The award is active, and the awarded value and contract period match the tender information.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear benchmark for the type of project-supervision capability UK Research & Innovation has purchased through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor would need to show practical experience supervising projects, maintaining delivery oversight and coordinating project activity for a public-sector client. The modest contract scale indicates an opportunity suited to a focused specialist consultancy or SME rather than a large delivery organisation. Businesses competing for a similar requirement would benefit from demonstrating disciplined project controls, clear reporting, dependable stakeholder management and the capacity to provide oversight throughout a multi-year service period. Familiarity with public-sector procurement and call-offs from dynamic purchasing systems would also support credible participation.
