Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services other than construction work for Project 10207636. The requirement is classified under CPV 79421100 and falls within the services category. Delivery was required in the United Kingdom. The procurement relates to supervision of a project rather than construction supervision, so it is relevant to consultancies and specialist advisers providing project oversight, coordination and monitoring services outside the construction sector. Innovate UK was the buying organisation. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The selected supplier was Paul Walke Technology Consultancy, a Sheffield-based SME. The requirement therefore provides a clear example of Innovate UK buying focused project-supervision support from a small specialist consultancy.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Innovate UK used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 11 August 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to Paul Walke Technology Consultancy on 19 August 2026 for £3,217.50, inclusive of the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £3,217.50. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The procurement data describes the requirement and route to market, but does not set out a separate price, quality or technical scoring breakdown. The relevant evaluation basis should therefore be checked in the underlying procurement requirements if benchmarking a future opportunity.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award indicates demand from Innovate UK for a tightly scoped project-supervision service delivered by a small specialist consultancy. A credible competitor would need practical experience supervising projects outside construction, with the ability to provide focused oversight, coordination and monitoring rather than a large delivery team or extensive works capability. The selected supplier’s SME status shows that the requirement could be handled by a smaller business with relevant technical and professional expertise. Businesses tracking similar work should assess whether they can present concise evidence of project-supervision outcomes, dependable individual consultancy capacity and clear understanding of Innovate UK’s requirements. Familiarity with call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system would also help a supplier navigate the route used for this purchase and respond efficiently when comparable needs arise.
