Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services other than construction work, under a requirement identified as Project 10208481. The work is categorised as a professional service and falls within the wider services category. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Innovate UK, which uses these services to support oversight and supervision of a project rather than construction delivery itself. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The selected supplier, CITED LIMITED, is identified as an SME, indicating that the work can be delivered by a smaller specialist consultancy with the relevant project-supervision capability. The requirement was handled as a discrete call-off from Innovate UK’s purchasing arrangements.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. Innovate UK used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Responses were due by 11 August 2026 at 17:00. CITED LIMITED was awarded the contract on 28 August 2026 for GBP 1,700. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 30 April 2027. The award is active and covers the same project-supervision service requirement. The contracting process identifies services as the main procurement category and uses CPV 79421100 for project-supervision services other than construction work. The award value is GBP 1,700, with the contract running for the stated period. No separate lots or alternative awards are identified.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Innovate UK buying a short, focused project-supervision assignment through a dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to show practical experience supervising projects, the ability to provide structured oversight and reporting, and capacity to support delivery throughout a defined assignment. The buyer’s use of a selective call-off route means suppliers should be prepared to operate within a dynamic purchasing system and respond to targeted opportunities rather than relying only on open-market tendering. The SME suitability and the selected supplier’s SME status indicate that a smaller specialist consultancy can compete effectively, provided it can demonstrate relevant project-supervision capability, reliable delivery and proportionate administrative capacity.
