Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK commissioned project-supervision services for a specific project identified as Project 10204501. The work sits within the professional services category and covers project supervision rather than construction work itself, corresponding to CPV 79421100. Delivery is required in the United Kingdom. Innovate UK is the buying organisation. This is a service requirement suited to businesses providing project oversight, coordination and supervision for public sector or innovation-related programmes. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the requirement was structured to allow an SME to deliver the work. The selected supplier, CITED LIMITED, is registered in England and is classified as an SME.

The procurement has completed and was awarded on 22 August 2026 to CITED LIMITED. The award value is £2,210. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. The opportunity was managed as a selective procurement using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than a standalone open competition. Tender responses had a deadline of 11 August 2026 at 5pm. The procurement was evaluated within a completed project-supervision services process, with one supplier recorded as receiving the award. The buyer is Innovate UK. The award is active, and the published outcome confirms the contract period and value associated with this requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Innovate UK buying focused project-supervision support through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to provide practical project oversight and coordination, understand the demands of supervising publicly funded or innovation-related projects, and operate effectively within a structured public procurement route. The requirement demonstrates that Innovate UK uses this route for defined, relatively small-scale service assignments and that an SME can be selected to deliver them. Businesses with relevant project-supervision experience, disciplined delivery processes and the administrative capability to participate in dynamic purchasing system call-offs would be well placed when assessing similar requirements from this buyer.
