Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for a project, classified as supervision outside construction. The recorded scope is limited to this service category; no more specific project activities or outputs are described. The work is for Innovate UK, with delivery located in the United Kingdom. This is a services procurement and is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Suppliers focused on supervising projects other than construction are the closest match to the stated requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Exploratory Consultants Limited. Innovate UK used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The submission deadline was 27 April 2026. The award was made on 11 May 2026, with a contract period from 1 May 2026 to 31 January 2027. The awarded contract value is £3,765. The process records a single award and does not provide further evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions beyond SME suitability.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that Innovate UK buys project-supervision services outside construction through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME, and the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, making this type of requirement relevant to smaller consultancies as well as larger providers. A credible competitor would need to deliver project supervision aligned with Innovate UK’s requirement and be positioned to participate in the relevant purchasing system. No particular accreditation, specialist technical capability or minimum delivery capacity is identified; the demonstrated fit is the service itself and the ability to supply it through this route.
