Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than for construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement covers projects numbered 10197194 and 10195698 and is a services contract. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, based in Swindon, England. The work is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It concerns supervision and oversight of projects rather than construction activity itself, making it relevant to consultancies and professional services firms that provide structured project management, monitoring and delivery oversight for public research and innovation programmes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research & Innovation used a selective procedure, calling off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 11 June 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 23 June 2026. ZEC Consultancy Ltd was selected for the contract at £10,400. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. The award is active and covers the full requirement for projects 10197194 and 10195698. The evaluation basis recorded for this process is the selection through the dynamic purchasing system call-off route.

This award demonstrates demand from UK Research & Innovation for external project-supervision capability across public research and innovation work. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable project oversight, structured monitoring and effective coordination across multiple projects, while operating as a professional services supplier to a public research organisation. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller consultancies can be commercially relevant where they can show the necessary delivery capacity, governance and quality controls. Firms already established on, or able to qualify for, the relevant dynamic purchasing system would be best placed to compete through the same call-off route when comparable requirements return.
