Summary of the contracting process

National Wealth Fund Limited commissioned a business resilience communication service: a software-based communication tool that can contact all staff during a crisis. The requirement falls within business software and information systems, with the main procurement category being services. It is intended to support organisation-wide emergency communications rather than a single departmental user group. The buying organisation is National Wealth Fund Limited, whose registered procurement address is in Leeds. Delivery is specified in the United Kingdom. This opportunity is therefore relevant to suppliers of staff alerting platforms, mass-notification systems, crisis communications software and related implementation or support services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 31 August 2023 to Everbridge Europe Limited. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The awarded contract value is £35,205.46, including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2023 to 31 August 2027. The selected supplier is Everbridge Europe Limited. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The contracting route is therefore a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition, and the award reflects selection through that framework process. The award is active and covers the complete business resilience communication requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from National Wealth Fund Limited for a staff-wide crisis communication capability delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need a proven software platform able to contact all employees quickly and reliably during a crisis, with the operational resilience, scalability and user administration needed for organisation-wide use. Relevant businesses include providers of mass notification, emergency alerting, business continuity and crisis communications systems. The buyer’s acceptance of an SME supplier shows that this type of requirement can suit smaller specialist technology companies, particularly those already appointed to suitable public sector frameworks and able to support a multi-year service.
