Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for work other than construction, under Project 10205930. The requirement is classified as CPV 79421100 and falls within the services category. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Innovate UK, based at Polaris House in England. The procurement concerns supervision of a project rather than construction activity itself, making it relevant to providers of project oversight, coordination and supervision services for public-sector innovation or related programmes. The requirement was structured as a single service need and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier was Chris Marshall, an SME based in Forest Row, East Sussex.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Innovate UK used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids had to be submitted by 3 August 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to Chris Marshall on 12 August 2026 for £4,290. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. The award is active. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one contract value; these figures should be treated as the awarded amount for this requirement, not as an estimate of wider programme spending. The evaluation basis is not set out in the available procurement information.

This award shows that Innovate UK uses a dynamic purchasing system to source focused project-supervision services and that a small supplier can win a requirement of this type. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need to demonstrate practical capability in supervising projects outside the construction sector, with clear control of progress, coordination, reporting and delivery oversight. The work is suited to an SME-scale provider able to take responsibility for a defined public-sector assignment rather than a large construction-management operation. Relevant experience of supporting innovation-led or publicly funded projects, strong stakeholder communication and reliable governance processes would help establish credibility, while the dynamic purchasing system route indicates that suppliers must be ready to compete through that purchasing arrangement.
