Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation procured project-supervision services for two projects, identified by the buyer as projects 10185794 and 10181029. The requirement covers supervision and oversight of project activity rather than construction work, with delivery in the United Kingdom. It is a services contract intended to support UKRI’s management and monitoring of these projects. The selected supplier, Oakdene Hollins Ltd, is an SME based in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. The work is relevant to consultancies and specialist project-management businesses that provide structured supervision, coordination, monitoring and reporting for publicly funded research, innovation or related programmes. The procurement’s classification is CPV 79421100, covering project-supervision services other than for construction work, and the requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. UKRI used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Oakdene Hollins Ltd was awarded the contract on 3 June 2026 for £4,572, with the contract running from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 20 May 2026 at 17:00. The procurement was evaluated through the purchasing system’s call-off process. The awarded value and contract period apply to the requirement covering both projects. The award is active. The opportunity was treated as suitable for SMEs, and the contract is for services rather than goods or works. No separate lots or alternative awarded suppliers are identified in the procurement.

For a supplier assessing future work from UKRI, this award indicates demand for focused project-supervision support delivered through a dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor would need to supervise project activity across more than one assignment, maintain clear oversight of progress and obligations, and provide dependable coordination and reporting to a public-sector research and innovation buyer. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist consultancy rather than only a large corporate provider. Relevant businesses are likely to be those with established project-management or programme-monitoring capability, disciplined administrative controls and experience working with public-sector or publicly funded projects. Familiarity with dynamic purchasing system call-offs would also help a supplier compete for comparable requirements from UKRI.
