Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services, classified as services other than construction project supervision (CPV 79421100). The requirement is identified only as Project 10211615; no further description of the work or its intended outcomes is set out. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement was managed by Innovate UK, which is also the buyer. The selected supplier, Sandhills Management Consultancy Limited, is based on the Isle of Wight. The tender was considered suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This is a professional services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction works, and its stated scope centres on project supervision. The procurement was made as an individual call-off from an existing purchasing system.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Sandhills Management Consultancy Limited. The award was made on 10 October 2026, following a submission deadline of 6 October 2026 at 5pm. The awarded contract value is £840. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 30 April 2027. Innovate UK used a selective process, making a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The procurement information gives no separate award-scoring or evaluation criteria, so the basis on which the successful supplier was chosen cannot be described further. One supplier is recorded as the winner. The awarded amount is the value for this contract, rather than a wider framework or purchasing-system value.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows Innovate UK buying a small-scale project-supervision service through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to demonstrate relevant project-supervision capability and the capacity to deliver a defined, time-limited service. The selected company is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, and the original procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that this type of work can be delivered by a smaller consultancy. The stated scope is narrow: project supervision outside construction, rather than general management consultancy or construction supervision. Suppliers with experience supporting public-sector innovation programmes may find the buyer and service area relevant, but the procurement does not state particular programme expertise, qualifications or accreditations as requirements.
