Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services, classified as services. The requirement is identified as Project 10182870, with no further description of the tasks or intended outcomes. The work is for delivery in the United Kingdom; no more specific location is stated. This is a specialist professional-services requirement for project supervision rather than construction work itself. The buyer is Innovate UK, based in Swindon. The contract was awarded to an individual supplier, Dr Don Cardy, whose recorded business size is SME. This procurement indicates demand for project-supervision support by Innovate UK, although the information available here does not define the project subject or the detailed service specification.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Dr Don Cardy. Innovate UK used a selective process, making a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 1 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £4,930. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028. The overall estimated tender value was also £4,930. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots are listed, and no evaluation criteria or specific eligibility requirements are stated in the available procurement details.

This award shows that Innovate UK buys project-supervision services through call-offs from a dynamic purchasing system, and that an SME can win this type of requirement. A credible competitor would need to provide project-supervision capability suited to Innovate UK’s projects and demonstrate that it can deliver the service across the United Kingdom over a sustained contract period. The procurement does not set out project subject matter, technical qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels or other specific capability thresholds, so the award alone does not establish a specialist credential or minimum capacity. For suppliers monitoring this buyer’s future demand, the useful signal is the route used and the appointment of an SME for a defined, relatively focused professional-services requirement.
