Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation commissioned project-supervision services other than construction work, covering a project requirement delivered in the United Kingdom. The service is classified under CPV 79421100 and falls within the broader public-service category. The buying organisation is UK Research & Innovation, a UK public research and innovation body based in Swindon. The requirement concerns supervision and oversight of project activity rather than construction management. It is relevant to consultancies and specialist service providers that supervise projects, coordinate delivery, monitor progress and support effective project control. The awarded supplier, TÜV SÜD (UK) Limited, is based in East Kilbride, Glasgow, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a UK-based specialist organisation.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to TÜV SÜD (UK) Limited on 4 August 2026. The award value is £4,120. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The procurement used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 5pm. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. There were no lots or separate awards reported. The contract award is active and the tender status is complete.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting UK Research & Innovation’s future project-supervision requirements. A credible competitor would need the capability to supervise projects outside the construction sector, maintain effective oversight of delivery and provide dependable project-control support for a public research and innovation organisation. The opportunity is suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist consultancies can be commercially relevant where they can demonstrate sufficient professional capacity, robust management processes and reliable delivery. Experience working with public-sector clients, understanding formal procurement and contract requirements, and the ability to provide clear reporting and assurance would strengthen a supplier’s position. Businesses already qualified for, or able to access, a dynamic purchasing system route may be particularly well placed to compete for similar call-offs.
