Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is for supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction delivery itself. The service is categorised as a professional service and is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. Innovate UK is the buying organisation. The procurement was intended to suit small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist consultancies and professional services firms with the capability to supervise projects for a public-sector innovation and research-focused organisation. The named requirement is “ITT For Project 10203450”, indicating a specific project assignment rather than a broad programme of unrelated services. The scope published is concise, so firms would need to examine the underlying procurement material to understand the detailed supervision activities and expected outputs.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 7 August 2026 at 17:00. Innovate UK awarded the contract to ALLOTROPE SCIENTIFIC LTD on 18 August 2026 for £8,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The awarded value and contract period apply to this single award; there were no other awards reported. The process used a dynamic purchasing system call-off rather than an open tender. The published outcome identifies the winning supplier and confirms an active award. The procurement is for services, with the tender itself recorded as complete. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Innovate UK for focused project-supervision support delivered by an SME-sized supplier. A competitor seeking similar work would need credible capability in supervising projects outside construction, with the professional judgement to monitor progress, coordinate activity and provide clear oversight to a public-sector innovation organisation. The modest scale of the award suggests relevance for specialist consultancies, independent project-management businesses and technically informed firms able to deliver a defined assignment without the infrastructure of a large contractor. Experience of working with public bodies, maintaining reliable project records and communicating evidence-based progress would strengthen credibility, although those requirements are not stated as formal selection conditions. The route to market is also significant: firms would need access to, or eligibility for, the relevant dynamic purchasing system before competing for comparable call-offs.
