Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk bought systems consultancy services to continue its ICT programme. The requirement is described as an ICT programme extension, with the stated purpose of continuing the programme; the procurement does not give further detail about specific systems, activities or deliverables. The work is associated with King’s Lynn, Norfolk. This is a council requirement for specialist ICT consultancy rather than a purchase of hardware or general business support. The selected supplier, Entec Si Ltd, is identified as an SME, indicating that a smaller consultancy was able to deliver this kind of council ICT programme support.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Entec Si Ltd. The award was made on 15 September 2026, following a selective process structured as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award description says it was a direct award under the NHS Framework SBS 10197 for Consultancy and Advisory Services for Health. The contract period runs from 16 September to 30 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £23,789. The procurement was treated as a single service requirement, with no separate lots stated. SMEs were considered suitable. The available details do not describe the evaluation criteria, so the award basis beyond the framework call-off and direct award route cannot be characterised further.

This award demonstrates demand from the Borough Council of King’s Lynn and West Norfolk for consultancy to continue its ICT programme, delivered through a health consultancy framework route. The selected provider was an SME, so a smaller specialist consultancy can be credible for this requirement. A competitor looking to meet a similar need would need to show relevant systems consultancy capability and the capacity to sustain or extend an existing public-sector ICT programme. Familiarity with the NHS SBS 10197 framework route would also be commercially relevant, as the council used that framework for this award. The published scope is brief, so the clearest evidence of fit is experience supporting ICT programme continuation for a local authority, rather than capability in unrelated ICT supply or general advisory services.
