Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK commissioned project-supervision services other than construction work. The requirement is classified under CPV 79421100 and is a services contract delivered in the United Kingdom. The work concerns supervising a project rather than construction supervision, giving project-management and oversight specialists a clear indication of the service area. The buying organisation is Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, and the selected supplier is a small and medium-sized enterprise. The procurement is therefore relevant to consultancies and specialist project-support businesses that provide structured supervision, monitoring and delivery oversight for public-sector projects. Its stated scope is limited to project supervision, so suppliers whose offer is primarily construction delivery, general consultancy or unrelated professional services may find it less relevant.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Innovate UK awarded the contract to Cursive Thought Ltd on 29 July 2026 for £2,557, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 30 November 2027. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 17:00. The published procurement value and the awarded value are both £2,557. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and was identified as suitable for SMEs. The available information records the award outcome and route to market, but does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or detailed award criteria. There was one recorded active award and one supplier.

This award provides a focused example of Innovate UK’s demand for project-supervision services delivered by an SME through its dynamic purchasing system. Businesses considering comparable work for this buyer would need to demonstrate practical capability in project oversight, monitoring progress, coordinating delivery and providing clear management assurance. The requirement is distinct from construction work, so credibility would depend on experience supervising non-construction projects and on showing that a small specialist team can deliver reliable oversight. Suppliers should also be prepared to operate through a dynamic purchasing system call-off route, understand its participation requirements and respond to defined project-supervision briefs. The selected supplier’s SME status indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist business rather than only a large consultancy.
