Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for a project identified as Project 10203605. The requirement is categorised as services and relates to project supervision outside construction; no further description of the tasks or outputs is set out. The work is for Innovate UK, with delivery in the United Kingdom. This is a buyer-specific project assignment rather than a general construction management requirement, so suppliers whose work centres on supervising non-construction projects are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to THIRD SECTOR SPECIALISTS LTD. Innovate UK made the award on 12 August 2026. The awarded value is £1,540. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 28 February 2027. The requirement was competed as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, using a selective procedure. The stated tender deadline was 28 July 2026 at 17:00. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. No lots or evaluation criteria are described, so the recorded outcome identifies the successful supplier but does not explain how bids were scored or compared.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that Innovate UK buys project-supervision services for individual projects through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to demonstrate practical capability in supervising non-construction projects and to respond effectively to a selective call-off process. The selected supplier was a small business, and SMEs were considered suitable, indicating that this requirement was not limited to large providers. The project-specific scope and modest contract scale point towards suppliers able to deliver focused supervision rather than broad construction oversight. Firms with relevant project-supervision experience and the capacity to support Innovate UK’s particular assignment would be best placed to compete if a comparable requirement comes to market again.
