Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services, classified as services other than construction project supervision (CPV 79421100). The requirement is identified only as Project 10185108; no further detail describes the project being supervised or the specific activities required. The buyer is Innovate UK. The delivery location is stated as the United Kingdom, without a more specific place. The procurement therefore concerns professional oversight of a project for this UK-wide public-sector buyer, rather than construction supervision. The recorded requirement is a single service item, with no lots described. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of goods or works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to A Gunn Consulting on 5 May 2026. The award value is £6,050, and the contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 December 2027. The tender deadline was 7 April 2026 at 5pm. Innovate UK used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The procurement is recorded as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not voluntary, community or social enterprises. No award evaluation criteria are recorded. This was a single service requirement with one named awarded supplier; the stated tender estimate and award value are both £6,050.

For firms providing project supervision and oversight, this award demonstrates demand from Innovate UK for a focused professional service rather than construction work itself. A small consultancy was selected, showing that the requirement was deliverable by an SME and did not depend on a large supplier. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need relevant project-supervision expertise and the capacity to provide the service over an extended contract period. The route used was a call-off through a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers would need to be positioned to participate in that system and respond to call-off requirements. The procurement gives a concrete example of Innovate UK buying project supervision, although it does not describe the project or specify particular technical qualifications or accreditations.
