Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK commissioned project-supervision services other than construction work for Project 10206115. The requirement falls within the services category and concerns supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction delivery itself. Work is to be carried out in the United Kingdom. The buyer is Innovate UK, based at Polaris House in England. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist project-management and project-supervision consultancies as well as larger providers with an appropriate service offer. The selected supplier was John Heywood Consulting, an SME based in Macclesfield, demonstrating that the requirement was fulfilled by a small specialist business.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Innovate UK used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 12 August 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded to John Heywood Consulting on 24 August 2026. The awarded value is £3,600, with the contract running from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The contract covers project-supervision services other than construction work. The published outcome records one active award to John Heywood Consulting. The procurement’s stated basis is its selective dynamic purchasing system call-off route; the available outcome information does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings.

For a competitor, this award is evidence that Innovate UK buys focused project-supervision support through its dynamic purchasing system rather than only through large standalone competitions. A credible future supplier would need a clear capability in supervising and overseeing projects, with a service model suited to a defined assignment rather than construction delivery. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, and the successful provider was an SME, indicating that a small specialist consultancy can be credible for this buyer when it can provide the relevant expertise and deliver the required supervision service. Firms monitoring Innovate UK’s project portfolio and maintaining an appropriate dynamic purchasing system position may therefore find this type of work commercially relevant.
