Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services other than for construction work for Project 10202144. The requirement is classified as a service and covers project supervision; no further scope or purpose is described. The work is associated with the United Kingdom, with no more specific delivery location stated. The buyer is Innovate UK. The process was run as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, and the selected supplier, Blackwater Engineering Consultancy and Marine Training Ltd, is based in Lincoln, Lincolnshire. The procurement was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it was relevant to smaller suppliers as well as larger businesses able to deliver project-supervision services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Blackwater Engineering Consultancy and Marine Training Ltd. The award was made on 1 October 2026, for £6,850. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The original estimated procurement value was also £6,850. The competition was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with a submission deadline of 10 September 2026 at 5pm. The tender records a single service requirement and no lots. Innovate UK marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and not suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate evaluation criteria or award weighting are recorded.

This award shows that Innovate UK buys project-supervision services through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, at a modest contract scale and over a multi-year period. Blackwater Engineering Consultancy and Marine Training Ltd, an SME, was selected, demonstrating that a smaller specialist consultancy can secure this type of work. Suppliers considering similar Innovate UK requirements should be able to provide project supervision and deliver services across the United Kingdom. Credibility will depend on matching the requirement’s project-supervision focus and being able to operate within the dynamic purchasing system route. The available information does not describe particular professional accreditations, technical qualifications, staffing levels or sector experience, so these should not be inferred as conditions for competing.
