Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement relates to Project 10199427 and covers service delivery in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation. This is a professional services requirement rather than construction, equipment supply or physical works. It will suit businesses that provide structured project supervision and oversight for public-sector programmes or projects. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The selected supplier, Cursive Thought Ltd, is recorded as an SME.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 20 July 2026. Innovate UK awarded the contract to Cursive Thought Ltd for £2,984. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 29 February 2028. The award is recorded as active and the tender status is complete. The available procurement data identifies the service category and purchasing route, but does not set out separate price, quality or technical weightings for the award decision.

This award indicates a requirement for a compact, specialist project-supervision service that can be delivered by an SME. A credible competitor for comparable work with Innovate UK would need experience overseeing projects, maintaining structured progress and reporting arrangements, and providing dependable professional support across a defined service period. Familiarity with public-sector project governance and the practical demands of working with a UK innovation funding body would strengthen its position. The purchasing route is also commercially relevant: suppliers should understand how to qualify for and operate through a dynamic purchasing system, then respond effectively to individual call-offs. The opportunity is most relevant to project-management and supervision consultancies rather than construction contractors or product suppliers.
