Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is described as Project 10197103 and falls within the services category. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. Project supervision may suit businesses providing structured oversight, coordination and monitoring for non-construction projects, although the published scope identifies the service category rather than specific activities or outputs. Innovate UK is the buying organisation. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that the buyer considered an SME supplier able to deliver this type of project-supervision service. The selected provider, SPARK ASSESSMENT SERVICES LIMITED, is itself recorded as an SME and is based in Oxford, Oxfordshire.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded to SPARK ASSESSMENT SERVICES LIMITED on 29 July 2026 for £2,240 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2027. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 17:00. The contracting process had an estimated value of £2,240. The award is active and covers the single stated project-supervision service requirement. The published data records the procurement route and outcome, but does not set out award weightings or a separate evaluation formula.

This award indicates demand from Innovate UK for specialist supervision of non-construction projects delivered across the United Kingdom. A competing supplier would need credible project-management and oversight capability, with the capacity to coordinate activity, monitor progress and provide clear reporting against agreed requirements. Experience supervising public-sector or innovation-focused projects would help demonstrate an understanding of governance, evidence and delivery assurance, while the successful supplier’s SME status shows that the work can be delivered by a smaller specialist business. Suppliers with established quality controls, dependable administration and the ability to manage a defined service requirement through a dynamic purchasing system would be well placed when comparable work is next brought to market by this buyer.
