Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Nursing and Midwifery Council procured portfolio programme project management services, classified as systems and technical consultancy. The requirement relates to managing projects across a portfolio; the published description identifies a call-off contract through G-Cloud 14 and an extension option. The buyer is based at Portland Place in London, and the work is associated with the same London postcode. The procurement is a services contract for the Council, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Searchlight Business Services Limited. The award date was 28 September 2025. The awarded value is £283,500, and the contract period runs from 1 October 2025 to 1 September 2027. The tender’s stated total value is £383,500; its description says an extension option was taken and the total contract value increased by £100,000. The process was a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable. No award evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details.

This award shows that the Nursing and Midwifery Council buys portfolio programme project management through a G-Cloud framework call-off. Suppliers considering similar work for this buyer would need to demonstrate the ability to manage projects across a portfolio and deliver project management consultancy services. The award identifies a large business as the selected supplier, but the procurement also marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Those businesses may therefore find this type of requirement relevant if they can provide credible portfolio-level project management capability. The requirement is specific to project and programme management for the Council, rather than general technology supply.
