Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for four projects (references 10205899, 10204848, 10203426 and 10205903). The work is a professional service overseeing projects rather than construction work itself. The procurement is categorised as services, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement was grouped in one procurement covering the four named projects; no project-level breakdown of the supervision tasks is provided in the available description. Innovate UK is the buying organisation. The awarded supplier, Dales Consulting Limited, is a small or medium-sized enterprise, and the opportunity was marked as suitable for SMEs. The work concerns project oversight and supervision, rather than physical construction or the supply of goods.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Dales Consulting Limited. Innovate UK used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 18 September 2026 for £17,610. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028. The tender submission deadline was 2 September 2026 at 5pm. The requirement covered four projects under the same procurement. The available award information gives no separate awards or values for individual projects. The published procurement information does not set out how bids were evaluated or specify selection thresholds. This outcome records one selected supplier for the project-supervision requirement; the award value and contract period apply to that award.

For suppliers assessing similar work for Innovate UK, this award shows demand for project-supervision services across several projects, procured through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The successful supplier was an SME, and the requirement was explicitly considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that this type of work can be delivered by a smaller specialist consultancy. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to oversee multiple projects and provide reliable project supervision for a public-sector innovation organisation. The procurement description does not identify particular technical disciplines, professional accreditations, staffing levels or prior experience requirements, so there is no supported basis for treating any specific qualification or capacity threshold as essential. The modest, multi-project assignment illustrates a focused consultancy opportunity rather than construction delivery or a goods contract.
