Summary of the contracting process

The Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk procured an extension to its ICT programme contract. The requirement is for systems consultancy services supporting the council’s digital and ICT strategy programme. The work is described as an extension to an existing ICT programme contract and is delivered in King’s Lynn, England. This is a public-sector technology consultancy requirement rather than a supply of hardware or general IT support. The council is the buying organisation and the service is categorised as systems consultancy. The procurement relates to the council’s digital and ICT strategy activity, so relevant suppliers are those able to provide advisory and consultancy support for public-sector information and communications technology programmes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from the NHS Consultancy and Advisory Services for Health framework, reference SBS10197. The tender deadline was 26 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Entec Si Ltd on 26 August 2026 for £37,952 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 15 September 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and the recorded requirement is a short extension to the ICT programme contract.

This award demonstrates that the council uses a framework call-off to obtain targeted digital and ICT strategy consultancy, including short extensions to existing programme work. A credible future supplier would need proven systems consultancy capability and the ability to advise on or support public-sector digital and ICT strategy programmes. Experience of working within a framework call-off route, particularly one covering consultancy and advisory services for health-related public bodies, would be commercially relevant. The small and medium-sized enterprise suitability indicates that this type of requirement can be delivered by a specialist consultancy rather than only a large systems integrator. Suppliers should be able to mobilise quickly, work within a defined existing programme, and provide focused advisory capacity to the council.
