    Brief

    This is a renewal opportunity for the existing Company Watch service integrated within Innovate UK's Funding Assurance Platform. The service provides critical company monitoring and verification capabilities. Due to established technical integration with current systems and the significant costs associated with re-engineering to transition to an alternative provider, this renewal represents the most cost-effective option for maintaining service continuity. Suppliers should note that this is a managed service renewal focused on sustaining existing functionality rather than a new procurement.
