Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for a non-construction project, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement covers supervision and oversight of project delivery rather than construction supervision. It is a services procurement for work delivered in the United Kingdom. Innovate UK is the buying organisation. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it is relevant to specialist project-supervision consultancies and advisory firms able to support public-sector project monitoring. The selected supplier, Kihlstrom and Associates Advisory Services, is based in Lewes, East Sussex, and is classified as an SME. The procurement concerned a single project identified by the buyer as Project 10205327.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Innovate UK used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 29 July 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to Kihlstrom and Associates Advisory Services on 12 August 2026 for £2,900. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The award was active when published. The procurement was evaluated as a project-supervision services requirement under a dynamic purchasing system call-off; the available record does not set out separate lots or detailed award weightings. This is an awarded outcome rather than an invitation to submit a bid.

For competing suppliers, this award provides a clear example of Innovate UK buying specialist project-supervision support through a dynamic purchasing system. A credible provider for comparable work would need practical capability in supervising and monitoring project delivery, advising on progress and risks, and producing clear oversight for a public-sector buyer. The requirement is suitable for an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist consultancy can be an appropriate delivery model. Firms should be able to demonstrate reliable project-management advice, disciplined reporting, and the capacity to support a defined project assignment over the contract period. Experience of working with innovation, research or public-sector projects would help a supplier show relevance when similar requirements are considered.
