Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for a specific project, identified in the procurement as Project 10190945. The work is classified as project supervision other than for construction, rather than construction management. The procurement is categorised as a service, and Innovate UK is the buying organisation. The recorded delivery locations are in the United Kingdom; no more precise place is identified. The stated scope is limited to the project-supervision requirement, with no further description of activities or deliverables. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller consultancies able to provide project supervision. The selected supplier, Sandhills Management Consultancy Limited, is recorded as an SME.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Sandhills Management Consultancy Limited. Innovate UK used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 9 April 2026. The awarded value is £3,080. The contract period runs from 1 May 2026 to 31 October 2027. The original tender submission deadline was 2 April 2026 at 5pm. The process is recorded as a single requirement, with no lots described. The overall estimated procurement value was also £3,080. No award evaluation criteria are recorded, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be stated. The award is active, and no cancellation or termination is recorded.

For suppliers considering similar project-supervision work for Innovate UK, this award shows that the buyer used a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system and selected an SME consultancy. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to supervise a defined project and deliver the required service within a modest-scale engagement. The procurement provides evidence of demand for project oversight outside construction, rather than construction project management. Small consultancies may be relevant, since the requirement was marked suitable for SMEs and the awarded supplier is itself recorded as an SME. The specific tasks and evaluation approach are not described, so the evidence points to the service category and route used, rather than particular technical credentials or assessment strengths.
