Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for a UK-wide requirement. The work sits within the services category and concerns supervision of a project rather than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The buyer is Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, based at Polaris House in England. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation is not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement relates to a defined project identified by the buyer as Project 10194040. Suppliers in project oversight, monitoring, coordination and related professional support may find the requirement relevant, particularly where they can deliver supervision services across the United Kingdom and work with a public-sector innovation funding organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded on 20 July 2026. Phoenix Performance Solutions was selected for the contract at a value of £4,320. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The procurement is for services and is recorded as a single requirement rather than separate lots. The published information identifies the project-supervision service and the selected supplier, but does not set out an award-criteria breakdown. The outcome indicates that the buyer used its dynamic purchasing system route to select a supplier for this project requirement.

This award is relevant to small and medium-sized firms providing project supervision, monitoring or coordination services to public-sector innovation programmes. A credible competitor for a future requirement with Innovate UK would need to show that it can oversee project activity, maintain structured monitoring and reporting, and provide reliable professional support throughout a multi-year service period. Experience of working with public bodies, innovation-funded projects or other programmes requiring clear governance would strengthen its position. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only by a large consultancy. Firms able to operate across the UK and participate through a dynamic purchasing system would be well placed for comparable work from this buyer.
