Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research and Innovation is procuring project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement supports supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction delivery itself. The service is categorised as a public-sector service and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. UKRI is the buying organisation, based in Swindon, England. The opportunity is identified as project 10183676. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the buyer considers the requirement accessible to businesses of that scale. The selected supplier is a specialist scientific company, providing a useful indication that relevant technical and project-supervision capability can be delivered by an SME rather than only by a large professional-services organisation.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids were due by 20 May 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded on 29 May 2026 to Allotrope Scientific Ltd for £2,865. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender’s estimated value was also £2,865. The award is active, and the procurement used a single requirement rather than separate lots. The stated evaluation basis is the procurement documents and the call-off process within the dynamic purchasing system. This is an awarded requirement, so the procurement outcome is already established rather than an invitation to submit a new bid.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is a clear example of UKRI buying a defined, short-term project-supervision service through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable ability to supervise and oversee projects, organise delivery against defined objectives, and provide dependable professional support for the full service period. The award to Allotrope Scientific Ltd shows that an SME-sized supplier can satisfy this type of requirement. Businesses with relevant project-management expertise, disciplined reporting and coordination processes, and the capacity to take responsibility for a discrete UKRI assignment would be well placed to assess similar work. The route to market also makes familiarity with dynamic purchasing system call-offs commercially relevant.
