Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services other than for construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is for professional services supporting the supervision and oversight of projects, rather than construction delivery itself. The service is categorised as services and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. Innovate UK is the buying organisation. The procurement was intended to be suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It relates to a defined project requirement identified as Project 83023858, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide structured project supervision and associated oversight services for a public-sector innovation organisation. The requirement is national in delivery scope, rather than tied to a named local authority area or individual site.

This procurement has been awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender closed on 24 August 2026 at 5pm. Innovate UK awarded the contract to SPARK ASSESSMENT SERVICES LIMITED on 3 September 2026 for £8,100. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The procurement has a completed status and the award is active. The selected supplier is an SME. The available evaluation information identifies the procurement route and service requirement but does not set out a separate quality, price or weighted scoring basis. This is a single awarded requirement, with no separate lots or multiple suppliers recorded.

This award provides a clear reference point for SMEs offering project supervision and project oversight services to Innovate UK. A credible competitor would need to show that it can supervise projects in a structured, reliable way, maintain appropriate monitoring and reporting arrangements, and support the buyer in understanding progress, delivery and performance. The requirement is suited to an SME-scale professional services provider rather than a construction contractor, and the national delivery scope means suppliers need to operate effectively across the United Kingdom. Businesses with demonstrable experience of public-sector or innovation-related project supervision, suitably qualified personnel, dependable governance and the capacity to manage a multi-year service relationship would be well placed when comparable work is next considered.
