Summary of the contracting process

The Nursing and Midwifery Council procured specialist financial software and information systems services for its HR and finance platforms. The requirement is a software solution supporting the organisation’s financial operations and related HR and finance platform environment. It falls within software package and information systems services and is classified as a services procurement. Delivery is associated with the Council’s premises at 23 Portland Place, London, W1B 1PZ. The buying organisation is the Nursing and Midwifery Council, the UK professional regulator for nursing and midwifery. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that businesses of this scale were within the intended supplier market.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective procedure as a direct call-off from the RM6285 Specialist Software Solutions framework, specifically Framework Lot 2. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026. The contract was awarded on 1 August 2026 to OneAdvanced Limited for £648,066 including the stated currency of GBP. The award and contract period run from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. OneAdvanced Limited is the single recorded supplier. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route rather than an open competition, with the award recorded as active and the contract covering the full financial software requirement.

For suppliers assessing future work with the Nursing and Midwifery Council, this award demonstrates demand for specialist financial software supporting integrated HR and finance platforms. A credible competitor would need proven capability in specialist software solutions, implementation and support for finance-related systems, and the ability to deliver within a regulated public-sector environment. Experience of working through the RM6285 Specialist Software Solutions framework, particularly its Specialist Software Solutions lot, would be commercially relevant because this buyer used a direct framework call-off route. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist software provider could be well placed where it can evidence the required technical capability, service capacity and public-sector delivery experience.
