Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services other than for construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement supports oversight and management of a project rather than construction delivery itself. Services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Innovate UK, the UK innovation agency. This is a services procurement and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, SPARK ASSESSMENT SERVICES LIMITED, is based in Oxfordshire and is also classified as an SME. The requirement therefore fits consultancy, project oversight and assessment businesses that can provide structured supervision services for Innovate UK projects across the UK, rather than contractors whose main capability is physical construction or works delivery.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Innovate UK used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded to SPARK ASSESSMENT SERVICES LIMITED on 24 July 2026 for £2,110. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2027. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 17:00. The award covers the full project-supervision services requirement and there were no separate lots or alternative award recipients identified. The published outcome records the supplier as active under the award. The procurement was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system call-off route, with the requirement focused on project supervision and related oversight services rather than construction work. The award value is stated in pounds sterling.

This award indicates demand from Innovate UK for a specialist supplier able to supervise and oversee projects across a UK-wide portfolio. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable project-supervision capability, with the organisation, reporting discipline and stakeholder management needed to monitor delivery and provide clear assurance to the buyer. The work is suited to an SME consultancy or assessment business able to operate at modest contract scale while maintaining reliable processes, experienced personnel and consistent outputs. Relevant experience should show that the supplier can manage project information, identify progress or delivery issues, assess performance and communicate findings in a public-sector environment. Businesses offering construction delivery alone are less closely aligned than those providing independent project oversight, monitoring, assessment or programme-support services.
