Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for Projects 10204347 and 10204682. The work falls within the services category and concerns supervision of projects other than construction projects. The procurement entry lists delivery in the United Kingdom but gives no more specific delivery location. The requirement is tied to two named projects; no further description of the supervision activities or project subject matter is provided. Innovate UK is the buying organisation. The award went to S L S DARLING LIMITED, a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that a smaller specialist supplier was able to undertake this requirement.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Innovate UK awarded the contract to S L S DARLING LIMITED on 10 August 2026, for £4,884. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The route was a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, using a selective procedure. The original submission deadline was 28 July 2026. The procurement covered the two named projects as one requirement; no separate lots are recorded. The data identifies suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises, but does not provide detailed eligibility thresholds or evaluation criteria. The award is active.

This award shows that Innovate UK buys project-supervision services for its programmes and that this type of requirement can be placed through a dynamic purchasing system. A small or medium-sized supplier won, so a credible competitor need not be a large organisation; relevant project-supervision expertise and the ability to deliver across the full contract period are the clearest indications of fit. The requirement relates to two projects, but the available description does not establish a particular technical specialism, accreditation, staffing level or project sector, so competitors should not infer these as buyer requirements. Suppliers already qualified to compete through the relevant purchasing system, with evidence of dependable supervision services for public-sector projects, are best placed to respond if Innovate UK brings a comparable requirement back to market.
