Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is identified as Project 10203644 and is a services contract for work delivered in the United Kingdom. The scope is project supervision rather than construction activity itself. This is a buyer-led requirement from Innovate UK, based at Polaris House in England. It is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), while participation is not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The requirement describes one service item, so businesses specialising in supervising and monitoring projects for public-sector or innovation programmes are the most directly relevant audience. The buyer is Innovate UK, a UK public-sector innovation organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 28 July 2026 at 17:00. Innovate UK awarded the contract to Maru Scientific on 18 August 2026 for £3,240, inclusive of the stated procurement value and in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The award is recorded as active and the tender as complete. The process therefore shows the outcome of a completed competition rather than a current opportunity. The published data identifies the procurement route and contract dates, but does not set out award weightings or other evaluation criteria.

This award is useful market evidence for SMEs providing project supervision and monitoring services to Innovate UK. Maru Scientific, the selected supplier, is recorded as an SME, showing that a smaller specialist business can meet the buyer’s requirements through this procurement route. A credible competitor for similar work would need a clear service focused on supervising projects, organising oversight activity and reporting progress in a UK public-sector or innovation setting. Experience of working with structured public procurement processes would be commercially relevant, particularly for businesses already able to operate through a dynamic purchasing system. The requirement points to a focused assignment suited to a small specialist team rather than a large construction contractor or a broad community organisation.
