UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) procured project and programme management consultancy services through its BAU framework. The requirement was for project and programme management support, rather than delivery of a specified physical asset or works. UKRI is the buying organisation. The procurement was divided into one lot, covering the project and programme management requirement. The award records the service as project management consultancy; the published description gives no further detail about specific projects, deliverables or sites. No delivery location is stated, so the requirement’s geographic footprint cannot be established from the available scope.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. UKRI used a selective procedure to make a competitive award under a framework agreement. Savills (UK) Ltd was selected for the single lot on 20 October 2026. The award is valued at £178,000 excluding VAT (£213,600 including VAT). The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 March 2029. The published procurement information does not set out the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements, so the basis for comparing tenders cannot be described beyond the competitive framework call-off. The award is active; a scheduled contract signature milestone is recorded for 2 November 2026.

For suppliers seeking comparable future UKRI work, this award shows demand for project and programme management consultancy through a competitive call-off from the buyer’s BAU framework. Credible competitors would need to demonstrate practical capability to manage projects and programmes and to provide consultancy support under a framework arrangement. Savills, a large supplier, was selected, indicating that a sizeable consultancy provider was able to meet the requirement; the procurement does not establish that only large firms can compete. The service description does not identify specific technical disciplines, professional accreditations, staffing levels or past-performance thresholds, so suppliers should not infer those as stated conditions. The commercial evidence is specific to UKRI’s project and programme management requirement, rather than a general signal for unrelated consultancy work.
