Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services for a project in the United Kingdom. The requirement is classified as project-supervision services other than for construction work (CPV 79421100), and falls within the services category. The available scope identifies supervision of project activity rather than construction delivery itself. This is a focused professional-services requirement for a supplier able to oversee, coordinate or monitor project work on Innovate UK’s behalf. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The named buyer is Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation, with the requirement delivered in the UK. The supplier selected was Cursive Thought Ltd, an SME, indicating that the work was structured for a specialist small-business provider rather than necessarily requiring a large corporate delivery organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 17:00. Innovate UK awarded the contract to Cursive Thought Ltd on 20 July 2026 for £3,784 GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The award is active. The process concerns a single project-supervision services requirement and the published outcome identifies one successful supplier. The award route shows that future suppliers would need to qualify for, or otherwise participate in, the relevant dynamic purchasing system before competing for comparable call-offs. The contract was evaluated through that selective call-off process, with the procurement focused on obtaining the specified project-supervision service.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Innovate UK buying a small, specialist project-supervision service through its dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for comparable work would need practical capability in supervising projects outside construction, including coordinating activity, monitoring progress, maintaining oversight and reporting clearly to the public-sector buyer. The selected supplier’s SME status indicates that a focused consultancy or specialist project-management business can be credible for this type of requirement, without evidence that a large delivery infrastructure is necessary. Relevant firms should be able to demonstrate dependable project governance, disciplined administration, clear stakeholder communication and the capacity to manage a defined assignment for Innovate UK. Familiarity with dynamic purchasing system call-offs and the ability to respond precisely to individual project requirements would also be commercially important.
