Summary of the contracting process

National Wealth Fund Limited, based in Leeds, procured a secure online board portal for its board of directors. The service is intended to let the organisation upload confidential and commercially sensitive board papers and provide an effective, secure and user-friendly way to manage board documents. This is a software-based information system supplied as a service, rather than a purchase of general-purpose software or physical equipment. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific operating site is identified. The requirement is focused on secure handling and access to board papers, so suppliers working in board-management platforms and document portals are the most directly relevant. The buyer’s need centres on a usable portal for sensitive governance materials.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Diligent Boardbooks Ltd. The award was made on 25 July 2024 for £69,000. The contract runs from 26 July 2024 to 25 July 2027; its original two-year term includes a one-year extension option, which has been exercised. The buyer used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 25 July 2024 at 12:00. No lots are described. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not for voluntary, community or social enterprises. No separate award-scoring criteria are recorded, so the basis used to compare offers is not stated.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement at National Wealth Fund Limited for a secure board portal supporting confidential and commercially sensitive papers, with usability for board members as well as secure document handling. Suppliers best placed to compete when this requirement returns will have an established board-management platform, demonstrable security controls appropriate to sensitive governance documents, and a clear, straightforward user experience for uploading and accessing papers. Experience supporting boards and handling confidential materials would make a supplier more credible than a general software provider without governance-related capability. The procurement was handled as a framework call-off, so relevant suppliers would also need access to an appropriate framework and the ability to compete through its call-off process. The stated SME suitability means smaller specialist providers may also be relevant.
