Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is for overseeing and supporting the delivery of a project rather than carrying out construction activities. The service is categorised as professional services and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. UKRI is the buying organisation and the work supports its project activity. This opportunity is relevant to consultancies and specialist project-management businesses that provide supervision, coordination, reporting and assurance services for public-sector or research-related projects. It may also suit smaller firms with the capacity to provide a focused project-supervision service for a single commissioning organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 27 May 2026 at 5:00 pm, and the award was made on 9 June 2026. Aviation & Rail Management was selected for an award worth £8,000, with the contract running from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The tender was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. UK Research & Innovation is the buyer. The award is active and covers the full project-supervision requirement. The stated procurement category is services, and the recorded tender value and awarded value are both £8,000.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award shows UK Research & Innovation buys focused project-supervision support through its dynamic purchasing system, using a route that can suit smaller specialist providers. A credible competitor would need practical project-management and supervision capability, with enough capacity to take responsibility for a defined public-sector assignment and provide reliable coordination, oversight and reporting. Experience of working with complex research, innovation, transport or other technically specialised projects would help demonstrate understanding of the operating environment, although the published requirement does not identify a specific professional accreditation. Businesses already qualified to participate in the relevant dynamic purchasing system, and able to deliver disciplined consultancy support rather than construction work, are the closest fit for comparable requirements from this buyer.
