Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services other than for construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is for services supporting supervision of a project rather than construction activity itself, with delivery in the United Kingdom. Innovate UK is the buying organisation. The procurement sits within Innovate UK’s monitoring and services activity and was structured as a service requirement suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Cursive Thought Ltd, is also recorded as an SME. Businesses considering similar work for Innovate UK should therefore focus on project supervision and monitoring capability, rather than construction delivery, and on the ability to operate across UK requirements. The procurement concerns one stated service requirement rather than a collection of separately described goods or works.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Innovate UK used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded to Cursive Thought Ltd on 20 July 2026 for £4,505. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 5pm. The published procurement value was £4,505, matching the awarded value. The available evaluation information identifies the requirement as project-supervision services; the award was made through the dynamic purchasing system call-off route. There was one stated service requirement and one recorded award, to Cursive Thought Ltd, with no separate lots or additional awarded suppliers identified.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Innovate UK for project-supervision services outside construction work, delivered in the UK and sourced through a dynamic purchasing system call-off. It is relevant to SMEs able to provide practical project supervision or monitoring for a public-sector innovation organisation. A credible competitor would need demonstrable experience supervising projects, maintaining oversight of progress and delivery, and providing clear, dependable reporting to the buyer. The requirement indicates that a relatively focused specialist service can be procured rather than a large construction-management package. Suppliers should be able to work within a selective DPS environment and respond to the buyer’s project-specific requirements. Experience of public-sector governance, structured monitoring and proportionate delivery would help a business compete when a comparable requirement returns.
