Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation commissioned project-supervision services for work other than construction, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is a professional services assignment supporting the supervision and management of a project, rather than the delivery of physical construction works. Services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. UK Research & Innovation is the buying organisation, based in Swindon, England. The procurement is categorised as services and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Merralls Consulting Limited, is an SME based in Aldington, Evesham, Worcestershire, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist consultancy rather than only by a large national provider.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 18 August 2026 at 17:00. UK Research & Innovation awarded the contract to Merralls Consulting Limited on 27 August 2026 for £4,807 GBP. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. The award is active. The published information identifies the requirement as project-supervision services and records an estimated tender value matching the awarded value. The procurement data does not set out separate lots or an evaluation weighting; the award was made through the dynamic purchasing system call-off route.

This award provides a clear indication of UK Research & Innovation’s demand for specialist project-supervision support delivered through its dynamic purchasing system. A competing consultancy would need to offer practical project oversight for non-construction work, with the capability to manage a defined assignment for a public-sector research and innovation organisation. The requirement is expressly suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist firm can be commercially credible where it can demonstrate reliable delivery, clear project controls, strong reporting and the capacity to support the buyer across a substantial service period. Experience of public-sector governance, stakeholder coordination, risk management and evidence-based progress reporting would strengthen a future response, particularly for firms seeking work through structured DPS call-offs.
