Summary of the contracting process

Innovate UK procured project-supervision services other than construction work, classified under CPV 79421100. The requirement supports oversight and management of a project rather than construction delivery itself. The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom for Innovate UK, based at Polaris House in England. This is a services procurement, and the opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The appointed supplier is a specialist scientific business, indicating that the requirement sits within Innovate UK’s project and innovation-support activity. The scope is described as Project 10202300, so businesses assessing relevance should compare their project-supervision capability with this type of non-construction assignment and the needs of a UK innovation funding organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Bids had to be submitted by 7 August 2026 at 17:00. Innovate UK awarded the contract to ALLOTROPE SCIENTIFIC LTD on 18 August 2026 for £6,350. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. There are no separate lots or stated award weightings in the procurement information. The selected supplier is recorded as an SME. The award covers the full project-supervision services requirement for Project 10202300, with the procurement completed through the established dynamic purchasing system route rather than an unrestricted open competition.

This award is useful market evidence for SMEs providing project supervision outside construction, particularly businesses able to support innovation or scientifically focused projects. A credible future supplier would need to demonstrate practical project oversight, structured coordination and the ability to manage delivery for a public-sector innovation organisation. Experience working with technical, research or science-led stakeholders would be commercially relevant because the appointed supplier is a scientific SME, although the published requirement does not set out specific professional accreditations or technical qualifications. Familiarity with dynamic purchasing systems and selective call-offs would also matter, as this buyer used that route to appoint the supplier. Businesses with capacity to deliver UK-wide services and to compete through a dynamic purchasing system are the closest fit.
