Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is a service supporting the oversight and management of a project, delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Innovate UK is the buying organisation. The named supplier is SPARK ASSESSMENT SERVICES LIMITED, an SME based in Oxfordshire. The opportunity therefore suits firms providing project supervision, monitoring or related project-management support, particularly those able to work with a UK public-sector innovation and funding organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to SPARK ASSESSMENT SERVICES LIMITED on 24 July 2026. The award value is £2,795. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. It was conducted using a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 17:00. The award covers the full requirement, with no separate lots identified. Evaluation details recorded for the process indicate the requirement was competed through the dynamic purchasing system; the award record identifies the successful supplier and its active award. The contract period and awarded value provide the clearest indication of the scale and duration of this project-supervision requirement.

This award shows that Innovate UK uses a dynamic purchasing system to source small, focused packages of project-supervision services and that an SME can win this type of work. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in supervising projects outside the construction sector, maintaining oversight across the delivery period, and providing reliable monitoring or assessment support. Familiarity with public-sector governance, evidence-based reporting, milestone tracking and communication with project stakeholders would strengthen a supplier’s position. The relevant market is likely to include specialist assessment, monitoring and project-management businesses rather than only large consultancies. Suppliers should be able to deliver proportionate support for an innovation-focused public body and operate effectively within a dynamic purchasing system call-off process.
