Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for work outside construction. The stated scope is limited to project supervision, with delivery in the United Kingdom; no more specific project or operational setting is described. The procurement is categorised as a service and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This requirement is relevant to suppliers whose work centres on supervising projects rather than delivering construction supervision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to UPSTART BIO LTD. The award date was 15 April 2026, with a contract period from 1 May to 31 December 2026. The awarded value was £2,000. The stated tender value was also £2,000. The buyer used a selective process as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The submission deadline was 31 March 2026 at 5pm. The published details do not describe the evaluation criteria or identify separate lots.

This award shows that Innovate UK bought a small-scale package of project-supervision services through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, and that an SME supplier was selected. For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to demonstrate that it can provide project supervision suited to non-construction work and deliver the defined requirement on a modest scale. The procurement provides no evidence of specific accreditations, staffing levels or technical methods, so suppliers should not assume these were decisive in this award.
