Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for a UK-based requirement. The work is classified as project-supervision services other than for construction work (CPV 79421100) and relates to Project 10204831. The requirement falls within the services category and is intended to support oversight and management of a project rather than construction delivery itself. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. Innovate UK is the buying organisation. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist consultancies and independent project-management providers with the capability to supervise publicly funded innovation or business-support projects. The requirement was awarded to John Heywood Consulting, an SME based in Macclesfield, although the buyer’s stated delivery location is the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to John Heywood Consulting on 24 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £3,680. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. It was conducted as a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than as an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 12 August 2026 at 5pm. Innovate UK evaluated the requirement through this dynamic purchasing system call-off route; the published information identifies project-supervision services as the subject of the award. One supplier is recorded as receiving the award, and the awarded amount is the same as the tender’s stated value. The contract is for services delivered in the United Kingdom.

This award indicates demand from Innovate UK for focused project-supervision support delivered by a small specialist consultancy. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide practical project oversight rather than construction works, with the ability to supervise and coordinate delivery against a defined project brief. Relevant strengths would include structured project management, progress monitoring, risk and issue control, stakeholder reporting, and clear evidence of managing publicly funded or innovation-related projects. The requirement’s suitability for SMEs suggests that a compact consultancy or experienced independent provider can be competitive where it can demonstrate proportionate capacity, reliable governance and sound reporting. Experience working with public sector clients, understanding grant or innovation project environments, and readiness to respond through a dynamic purchasing system would strengthen a supplier’s position when comparable work returns.
