Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for work in the United Kingdom. The requirement falls within professional project management and supervision support, specifically supervision of projects other than construction work (CPV 79421100). The buyer is Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, based at Polaris House in England. The procurement is categorised as a services contract and concerns a defined project identified by the buyer as Project 83026411. It is relevant to businesses providing structured project oversight, monitoring and management support for public-sector programmes or innovation projects, rather than suppliers focused on construction supervision, physical works or the supply of goods.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Innovate UK used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The response deadline was 6 August 2026 at 17:00. SPARK ASSESSMENT SERVICES LIMITED was awarded the contract on 19 August 2026 for £3,820. The awarded contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £3,820. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the selected supplier is recorded as an SME. The published outcome records an active award to one supplier.

This award provides a clear benchmark for suppliers seeking comparable Innovate UK work: the buyer uses a dynamic purchasing system to obtain focused project-supervision services, and the requirement can be delivered by an SME rather than only by a large consultancy. A credible future competitor would need practical experience supervising or monitoring publicly funded projects, the ability to provide concise, reliable oversight, and sufficient capacity to support delivery across a substantial multi-month engagement. Businesses with established project-control methods, strong reporting discipline and experience working with public-sector or innovation programmes would be well placed to demonstrate relevance when a similar requirement returns.
