Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for a UK-wide requirement. The work is classified as project supervision other than for construction, indicating support with overseeing, coordinating or monitoring a project rather than delivering construction activity itself. The buying organisation is Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation. This is a services contract intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist consultancies and independent project-management providers with the ability to supervise projects for a public-sector innovation organisation. The requirement is described as Project 10203173, so suppliers considering comparable work should assess their experience against the specific project-supervision scope and Innovate UK’s operating environment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Innovate UK used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded to Nidd Consulting Ltd on 12 August 2026 for £2,450. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2027. The tender submission deadline was 28 July 2026 at 5pm. The award covers one services requirement for project supervision in the United Kingdom. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement was assessed as suitable for SMEs, while participation was not identified as suitable for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award value and contract period apply to this single requirement and should not be treated as a wider framework commitment.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear signal of demand from Innovate UK for specialist project-supervision support delivered by an SME. A credible competitor for comparable work would need practical capability in supervising and monitoring projects, coordinating activity, tracking progress and providing clear management information to a public-sector innovation body. Relevant consultancy experience and the capacity to deliver a focused, low-value assignment would be important, as would the ability to work within a dynamic purchasing system call-off route. The successful supplier profile indicates that a smaller specialist business can meet this type of requirement. Firms with an established project-management service, demonstrable delivery discipline and experience working with public-sector clients would be well placed to assess similar future requirements from Innovate UK.
