What does innovation procurement cover?
Innovation procurement covers innovation programmes and grant schemes, where research funders and departments buy evaluation, coordination and expert consultancy, and estate work on innovation hubs and innovation quarters, such as design team appointments, mechanical installation, cleaning and site security.
Where are innovation contracts advertised?
Stotles brings together innovation tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.
If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Innovation programme evaluation is often called off from the Crown Commercial Service research and insights framework, and challenge competitions run through the Contracts for Innovation route.
What do you need to bid for innovation contracts?
Innovation programme work handling applicant data must comply with UK data protection law and subsidy control rules where funding is involved. Tenders usually set minimum insurance cover, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar programmes at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.
How is innovation work bought, and who buys it?
Evaluation work is sometimes called off from the CCS Research and Insights framework, and fund administration work from dedicated frameworks. UK Research and Innovation, Catapult centres, universities, councils and enterprise agencies are regular buyers, and NHS integrated care boards appear for health innovation programmes.
How do I find innovation contracts before they are formally tendered?
Read innovation strategies, funding competition timetables, innovation centre capital programmes and early market engagement notices, which show innovation work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
What CPV codes cover innovation tenders?
Innovation notices carry 73000000 (Research and development services and related consultancy services) and 79419000 (Evaluation consultancy services), and estate work carries construction and building services codes.
