Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK bought project-supervision services for a non-construction project (CPV 79421100). The requirement is identified as Project 10201808, but no further description of the project or supervision tasks is provided. The listed delivery location is the United Kingdom. This is a services contract, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The named buyer is Innovate UK; the selected supplier is Blackwater Engineering Consultancy and Marine Training Ltd, based in Lincoln. The procurement was described as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement therefore concerns specialist project oversight for Innovate UK, with UK-wide delivery indicated.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Blackwater Engineering Consultancy and Marine Training Ltd. Innovate UK used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The stated tender estimate and awarded contract value are both £9,400. The award was made on 25 September 2026. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2029. The tender submission deadline was 10 September 2026 at 17:00. The opportunity is presented as one requirement, with no lot breakdown. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable; the award evaluation criteria are not stated. The award is recorded as active.

For firms competing when Innovate UK’s project-supervision requirement next comes to market, this award shows demand for oversight of a non-construction project through a dynamic purchasing system call-off. The successful supplier is a specialist engineering consultancy and marine training business, indicating that relevant consultancy capability was credible for this requirement. The work was identified only as project supervision, so a competitor should be able to demonstrate experience managing or overseeing projects, while matching any detailed task requirements set out for the specific project. The buyer’s stated SME suitability suggests smaller providers can be relevant. Businesses whose work is confined to construction supervision, or unrelated consultancy, may find the requirement a poor fit.
