Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for a non-construction project, classified under CPV 79421100. The work is categorised as a service and is intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement concerns supervision and oversight of project activity rather than construction supervision. Innovate UK is the buying organisation. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation is not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The requirement is specific to Innovate UK’s project-monitoring and supervision needs, making it relevant to consultancies that provide structured oversight, coordination and assurance for publicly funded or innovation-related projects.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Responses were due by 12 August 2026 at 5:00pm, and the contract was awarded on 24 August 2026 to JOHN HEYWOOD CONSULTING. The awarded value is £3,680. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £3,680. This was a single service requirement for Innovate UK, with the procurement evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system’s selective call-off process. The successful supplier is identified as an SME. The award status is active and the overall tender status is complete.

This award shows a defined market for compact, specialist project-supervision assignments with Innovate UK, delivered through its dynamic purchasing system rather than a fully open tender. A credible future competitor would need practical experience supervising non-construction projects, maintaining oversight of progress and delivery, and providing clear, reliable assurance to a public-sector buyer. An SME profile is compatible with the requirement, so smaller consultancies with focused project-management expertise can be relevant. Businesses should also be able to work across the United Kingdom and understand the discipline, reporting expectations and accountability associated with publicly funded innovation activity. Familiarity with dynamic purchasing system call-offs would be commercially useful when pursuing comparable requirements.
