Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services unrelated to construction, classified as professional project-management support (CPV 79421100). The requirement is identified only as Project 10207821; no specific project activities or deliverables are described. The buying organisation is Innovate UK. The service is for delivery in the United Kingdom, with no more precise location stated. This is a services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The awarded supplier, Spark Assessment Services Limited, is based in Oxford, but the contracting data does not establish that the work itself is to be performed there. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it potentially relevant to smaller firms providing project-supervision support to Innovate UK.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Innovate UK selected Spark Assessment Services Limited, and the award is active. The award date was 22 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £4,550, with a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 April 2027. The tender had an estimated value of £4,550, and submissions were due by 8 September 2026 at 5pm. The procurement used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. It is recorded as one requirement, with no separate lots described. The evaluation or award criteria are not stated in the available process information, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be summarised.

This award confirms a small-scale requirement for project-supervision services at Innovate UK, purchased through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Spark Assessment Services Limited, identified as an SME, was selected, and the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs. A supplier positioning for similar work should be able to deliver project oversight and supervision for Innovate UK, and to compete through the relevant purchasing system. The published description does not set out specific technical disciplines, project deliverables, qualifications, accreditations or capacity thresholds, so it does not support a more detailed profile of the winning supplier’s capabilities. The commercial evidence is specific to project supervision outside construction; firms focused on construction supervision or unrelated project services should not assume this award indicates demand for their work.
