Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK bought project-supervision services for projects 10189306 and 10191119. The procurement is categorised as services, with the stated scope limited to project supervision rather than construction work. Delivery is identified as being in the United Kingdom, without a more specific place. This requirement shows Innovate UK’s use of external consultancy to oversee project work. The selected supplier, Peter Simpson Consulting Ltd, is a small business, and the opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The service is relevant to consultancies and independent consultants able to provide project supervision for Innovate UK projects; the project identifiers alone do not describe the projects’ subject matter or any specialist sector requirements.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Peter Simpson Consulting Ltd. The award was made on 17 April 2026. The awarded value was £2,175. The contract period runs from 1 May to 31 October 2026. The estimated procurement value was also £2,175. The requirement was procured as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system using a selective process. The response deadline was 31 March 2026 at 5pm. No lots are described; the requirement covers the two named projects. The recorded information provides no specific evaluation criteria beyond the procurement route, so the basis used to compare or assess tenders cannot be described more precisely.

For project-supervision consultancies and independent consultants, this award is evidence of Innovate UK buying focused oversight services for more than one project through a dynamic purchasing system. The successful supplier was a small consultancy, demonstrating that a large delivery organisation was not required for this particular assignment. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to show it can supervise project work reliably across the specified projects and deliver within a short, defined contract period. The award provides no detail of specialist technical expertise, professional accreditations, staffing levels or particular project-sector experience, so it does not support claims that these were decisive requirements. Firms already able to access the relevant purchasing system and offer proportionate project-supervision capacity are the closest fit.
