Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement is a service supporting the supervision and oversight of a project rather than construction delivery itself. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, and the procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is a focused requirement for suppliers able to provide project supervision expertise to a public-sector innovation organisation. The selected supplier, Picking Energy, is based in Bangor, Northern Ireland. The work relates to one project identified by the buyer as Project 10204142, rather than a broad programme of unrelated services.

This procurement has been awarded. Innovate UK used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender closed on 12 August 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was awarded to Picking Energy on 27 August 2026. The awarded value is £3,160 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender was evaluated as a services requirement for project supervision, with the procurement method being a selective DPS call-off. The award is active and the contract period is the same as the period stated for the tender. This outcome identifies the supplier selected for the requirement and provides a benchmark for future activity by this buyer.

This award demonstrates demand from Innovate UK for a small, defined project-supervision assignment that can be delivered by an SME. Suppliers considering similar work for this buyer would need credible capability in supervising and overseeing projects outside the construction sector, with sufficient organisation to manage a public-sector requirement and provide reliable oversight throughout delivery. Experience of working against a clearly defined project brief would help establish credibility, as would the ability to operate through a dynamic purchasing system call-off route. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be met by a smaller specialist business rather than only a large consultancy. Firms with focused project-supervision expertise and public-sector delivery discipline are the closest comparators.
