Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation commissioned project-supervision services for three projects identified in the procurement title. The requirement is categorised as services and covers project supervision other than construction work. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific place is attached to the work. UK Research & Innovation is the buyer. The published project identifiers are 10203420, 10203632 and 10207493, indicating that the supervision requirement spans three projects, although the procurement does not describe their subject matter or set out separate work packages. The requirement was procured as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than as a standalone open competition. The recorded suitability indicates that small and medium-sized enterprises could participate.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UK Research & Innovation selected Datasumi Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise. The award was made on 19 August 2026. The awarded value is £5,250. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2027. The procurement used a selective method, as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The recorded estimated procurement value is also £5,250. The submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 5pm. The work was grouped under one requirement covering the three projects; no separate award values are reported for them. The procurement records SME suitability. No specific evaluation criteria or minimum technical, financial or professional eligibility thresholds are stated in the available process details.

This award shows that UK Research & Innovation buys project-supervision services for multiple projects through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, and that an SME supplier was selected. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate practical capability in supervising projects, coordinating delivery and providing clear oversight across more than one project. The successful supplier’s SME status indicates that this scale of work can be delivered by a smaller business; the contract is a relatively contained, short-term service rather than a large construction or infrastructure commission. Suppliers with relevant project-supervision experience and the capacity to cover several project assignments would be positioned to compete when this buyer next seeks this type of service. The award does not identify particular professional accreditations, specialist subject expertise or named technical requirements, so there is no basis to infer that these were decisive qualifications.
