Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services unrelated to construction. The requirement is identified only as Project 10202795; no further scope or purpose is described. Delivery is stated to be in the United Kingdom, without a more specific location. This is a services contract, and the procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier, Blackwater Engineering Consultancy and Marine Training Ltd, is based in Lincoln, Lincolnshire. The work therefore concerns project oversight rather than construction delivery, and may be relevant to consultancies able to provide project-supervision services for Innovate UK. The buyer is Innovate UK.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Blackwater Engineering Consultancy and Marine Training Ltd. The award was made on 25 September 2026 for £8,050. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2029. It was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 10 September 2026 at 17:00. The procurement identifies no lots or evaluation criteria, so the basis for comparing submissions cannot be determined from the stated requirement. The award is recorded as active. The tender’s estimated value and the awarded value are both £8,050.

This award shows that Innovate UK buys project-supervision services through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, with a requirement that a small or medium-sized supplier could meet. A supplier looking to compete when this requirement returns would need credible project-supervision capability and the capacity to support delivery over a multi-year engagement. The selected company’s name indicates engineering consultancy and marine training experience, but the procurement does not state that these specialisms, particular qualifications or accreditations were required. Businesses with relevant project oversight experience should therefore assess whether they can evidence a suitable track record and deliver reliably for Innovate UK. The award provides a buyer-specific example of demand for supervision services; it does not establish that construction supervision was involved.
