Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK commissioned project-supervision services for six projects: 10208910, 10209820, 10209022, 10208268, 10209025 and 10205203. The requirement is for supervision and oversight of projects rather than construction work itself. The contracting process groups these projects into one service requirement, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The buyer is Innovate UK, the UK innovation agency. The published scope identifies the projects by reference number but does not give their individual subject matter or describe the supervision tasks in more detail. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to consultancies and project-management providers able to oversee multiple projects for a public innovation organisation, rather than firms supplying construction works or project goods.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Innovate UK selected GALPIN BENTON ASSOCIATES LIMITED, an SME, through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 27 August 2026. The estimated procurement value and awarded contract value are both £18,900. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The tender deadline was 24 August 2026 at 17:00. The requirement covered six projects as one call-off; no separate lot awards are reported. The published evaluation criteria are not detailed, so the award basis cannot be identified beyond the competitive route used. The contract is for services and was recorded as complete at the tender stage, with the award active.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates Innovate UK’s demand for project supervision across several projects through a dynamic purchasing system call-off. A credible competitor would need to offer project oversight services and the capacity to manage work spanning multiple projects for a public innovation buyer. The awardee is identified as an SME, and the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller consultancies may be relevant competitors. The scope does not set out specific professional accreditations, named technical disciplines, staffing levels or experience thresholds, so the evidence here does not support treating any such credentials as a stated requirement. Businesses specialising in construction delivery itself are less directly aligned: the service sought was supervision of projects, not construction work.
