## Summary

UK Research and Innovation, through its Natural Environment Research Council procurement function, procured project management support services for a UKRI project. The requirement is classified as construction project management services and covers professional support for managing project activity rather than construction materials or physical works. Delivery is associated with UKRI’s Polaris House site in Swindon and the wider South East of England. The buying organisation is UK Research and Innovation, a public research funding and delivery body. The service falls within the services category and is relevant to businesses providing structured project management support in a research, public-sector or construction-related environment, particularly where work can be delivered across the South East.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 31 July 2026 to AtkinsRéalis PPS Limited. It used a selective procedure as a direct call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The contract was valued at £75,066 including the award value stated for the selected supplier. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 March 2027. UK Research and Innovation is the buyer. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, with AtkinsRéalis PPS Limited named as the supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from UK Research and Innovation for external project management support connected with construction-related activity. Businesses considering comparable work for this buyer would need demonstrable capability in construction project management, programme coordination, governance, reporting, risk management and stakeholder management. Experience of working in public-sector, research or complex institutional environments would help establish credibility, particularly where projects involve multiple technical and operational parties. Suppliers would also need sufficient professional capacity to provide sustained support throughout the service period and to operate through a framework call-off route. The procurement was not presented as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so competitors should assess whether their organisational scale, framework access and delivery infrastructure match the buyer’s expectations.
