Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for a UK-based requirement under Project 10204195. The work falls within professional project management and supervision services other than construction supervision, supporting the oversight and coordination of a public innovation project. It is a services contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. Delivery is identified at United Kingdom level, so suppliers with the ability to provide project supervision across the UK could be relevant. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The named buying organisation is Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, which uses external suppliers to support delivery and monitoring of its funded innovation activity.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Mayflower Innovation, an SME, on 3 September 2026. The award value is £2,586. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. It was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, rather than an open standalone competition. The tender submission deadline was 26 August 2026 at 17:00. The published outcome records one active award to Mayflower Innovation for the full project-supervision requirement. The procurement category was services, with the requirement classified under CPV 79421100. The award confirms the selected supplier and the agreed contract value and period.

This award demonstrates demand from Innovate UK for specialist project-supervision support within its innovation programme. A credible future competitor would need to organise and oversee project activity, monitor delivery, identify issues, and provide clear reporting to a public-sector buyer. The small contract scale and SME suitability indicate that the requirement can be accessible to focused project-management consultancies, independent specialists, or small professional services firms rather than only large national providers. Experience of supervising funded innovation projects, working with multiple stakeholders, maintaining evidence and governance records, and communicating progress in a concise, accountable way would strengthen a supplier’s position. Familiarity with call-offs through a dynamic purchasing system would also be commercially relevant for pursuing similar work from this buyer.
