Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for a project identified as Project 10186473. The requirement is categorised as services and concerns supervision of a project rather than construction work. The procurement data gives no further breakdown of the work or its intended outputs. Delivery is stated as being in the United Kingdom, without a more specific location. Innovate UK is the buying organisation. The selected supplier, ZEC Consultancy Ltd, is a small business. The requirement is relevant to consultancies and project-management providers whose work includes supervising projects for public-sector clients; the available description indicates project supervision, but does not identify a particular sector, project subject or specialist discipline.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to ZEC Consultancy Ltd. Innovate UK used a selective route, making a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 29 July 2026 at 17:00, and the award was made on 3 August 2026. The awarded value is £5,500. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The published data records the overall estimated tender value as £5,500, the same as the awarded value. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. No evaluation criteria or lot breakdown are recorded in the procurement details.

This award demonstrates a defined Innovate UK requirement for project-supervision services, fulfilled by a small consultancy through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. For suppliers tracking similar requirements from this buyer, the relevant capability is project supervision outside construction; the procurement does not indicate a particular project sector or specialist technical discipline. A credible competitor would need to deliver the supervision requirement as a consultancy and be positioned to take part in the buyer’s dynamic purchasing system route. The award to a small supplier indicates that a smaller consultancy was capable of securing this work, rather than the requirement being confined to large providers. The contract is modest in scale, so suppliers should consider whether a focused assignment of this kind fits their project-management service offering and delivery capacity. No specific accreditation or experience threshold is stated.
