Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services other than for construction work. The requirement is identified only as Project 10203935, so the scope and purpose of the supervision are not further described. The service is associated with a delivery location in the United Kingdom; no more specific place is identified. This is a services requirement, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The buying organisation is Innovate UK.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to S L S DARLING LIMITED. The award was made on 10 August 2026. Its value is £1,570, and the contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2027. The original estimated procurement value was also £1,570. The contract was placed through a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 28 July 2026 at 5pm. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement information.

This award shows that Innovate UK bought a small-scale project-supervision service through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, and that an SME supplier, S L S DARLING LIMITED, was selected. Businesses with experience providing project supervision outside construction may find this buyer’s requirement relevant when similar work returns to market. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to supervise projects to Innovate UK’s needs and to compete through the relevant purchasing system. The procurement does not describe specific project-management methods, technical qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or specialist subject matter, so the demonstrated requirement is for the service itself rather than a stated niche capability.
