## Summary

UK Shared Business Services Limited procured consultancy support for Innovate UK’s programme stocktake. The requirement is business and management consultancy, covering professional advice and support to review and assess a programme. The work is associated with UKRI – Innovate and is delivered in Swindon, England. The buying organisation is UK Shared Business Services Limited, which manages procurement and contracting for the requirement. This is a services opportunity rather than a goods supply or construction project, and is relevant to consultancy firms with experience in programme reviews, organisational assessment, management information, strategic analysis or related advisory work. The classification is business and management consultancy and related services (CPV 79400000).

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. It was concluded as a direct award through the Management Consultancy Framework Four (MCF4), under the GCA RM6309 framework, using a framework call-off. The award was made to Metro Dynamics Limited on 13 August 2026 for £97,350. The contract runs from 13 August 2026 to 3 December 2026. The tender record gives 12 August 2026 as the submission-period end date. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and is for consultancy services. The awarded supplier is an active contract party, and the requirement is presented as an award outcome rather than an invitation for further competition.

This award provides a clear benchmark for firms targeting Innovate UK programme stocktake work: the buyer needed specialist management consultancy capable of reviewing a programme and supporting evidence-based assessment. A credible competitor would need consultants experienced in programme evaluation, portfolio or delivery reviews, stakeholder engagement, data gathering, analysis and concise reporting for a public-sector client. The work is suitable for SMEs, so a smaller consultancy with a strong relevant track record could be well placed, particularly where it can demonstrate senior expertise, dependable delivery capacity and the ability to work within a government consultancy framework. Experience of UKRI, innovation programmes or complex publicly funded portfolios would strengthen a future proposition.
