Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services other than construction work for Project 10202929. The requirement is a services contract supporting project oversight and supervision, rather than construction delivery itself. The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. Innovate UK is the buying organisation. The procurement is classified under CPV 79421100. The opportunity was structured for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist consultancies, independent project supervisors and other smaller providers with the expertise to oversee project activity for a public-sector innovation organisation. The named requirement is specific to project supervision, so businesses focused solely on construction contracting, goods supply or unrelated consultancy are less closely aligned with its scope.

The procurement has completed and was awarded to DR. DON CARDY. The award was made on 6 August 2026, following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract value is £2,660. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 28 July 2026 at 5pm. One supplier was selected for the requirement. The procurement was for services and the published outcome records the award as active. The award provides a clear example of Innovate UK using a dynamic purchasing system to source project-supervision support, with the successful supplier being an SME. No separate lot structure or weighted evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement information.

This award is relevant to small specialist providers that can supervise and oversee projects for Innovate UK in a public-sector innovation setting. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need demonstrable project-supervision capability, including the capacity to monitor progress, maintain oversight of delivery and provide clear assurance to the buyer. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a small provider rather than only by a large consultancy. Businesses with an established record of managing project governance, reporting and stakeholder coordination would be well placed to compete when Innovate UK next sources closely comparable support through its dynamic purchasing system. The strongest fit is a focused project-management or supervision practice, not a general goods supplier or construction contractor.
