Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for work other than construction, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is a services contract delivered in the United Kingdom. The published scope identifies the opportunity as Project 10205536 and concerns supervision of a project rather than construction activity itself. Innovate UK is the buying organisation. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The selected supplier, Picking Energy, is itself recorded as an SME based in Bangor, Northern Ireland. This is therefore relevant to consultancies and specialist project-supervision providers able to support UK projects outside the construction sector and to operate across the required delivery area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Picking Energy on 27 August 2026. The award value is £4,345. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. The procurement used a selective procedure and was a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than a standalone open tender. The tender submission deadline was 12 August 2026 at 5pm. The buyer’s estimated tender value was also £4,345. The award is recorded as active, and the tender status is complete. This outcome reflects one awarded supplier for the project-supervision services requirement; no separate lot or additional awarded supplier is identified.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Innovate UK for project supervision outside construction, delivered through a dynamic purchasing system. It shows that the buyer uses a selective call-off route and that an SME can be appointed for a relatively focused specialist assignment. A credible competing supplier would need experience supervising projects of this type, the people and management processes to monitor delivery effectively, and the ability to provide clear oversight and reporting to a public-sector innovation funder. Familiarity with selective purchasing and dynamic purchasing system call-offs would also be commercially useful. Providers should be able to work across the United Kingdom and demonstrate reliable project governance, coordination and supervision without presenting their services as construction management.
