Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Gambling Commission bought continued support for its ISS services and support to deliver the RICs review. This is business and management consultancy work, rather than a supply of goods or construction. The procurement is described at a high level and does not set out specific tasks or deliverables beyond continued ISS support and the RICs review. The contracting authority is the Gambling Commission, based in Birmingham. The listed delivery location is identified only by a postcode, which does not establish a place name for the work. The requirement is therefore most relevant to consultancies able to provide ongoing support to the Commission’s ISS services and contribute to a review, rather than suppliers seeking a defined standalone product or works contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Ernst & Young LLP. The Commission used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 20 January 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 February 2026 to 31 December 2027. The awarded value is £8,836,000. The tender submission deadline was 10 January 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The opportunity was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No lots, eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria are set out in the available procurement details, so the basis on which competing framework suppliers were assessed cannot be described further.

For a consultancy considering similar future work for the Gambling Commission, this award shows demand for sustained support to the Commission’s ISS services alongside delivery of a review. The selected supplier was a large consultancy, and the procurement was placed through a framework call-off, so credible competitors would need to be able to meet the Commission’s requirements through the relevant framework route and resource ongoing consultancy work at this scale. The requirement combines continued service support with review work; firms with experience coordinating advisory delivery and supporting organisational or service reviews may be better placed to demonstrate a relevant fit. The procurement details do not identify particular accreditations, specialist qualifications or named technical capabilities, so no more specific supplier profile can be inferred.
