Summary of the contracting process

The Serious Fraud Office bought computer-related professional services to support its CMS project. The requirement was delivered for the organisation in London, at its offices on Cockspur Street. The service was procured as a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework and classified under computer-related professional services. AllThorpe Consulting Ltd was the selected supplier, providing support to the Serious Fraud Office rather than a physical product or construction work. The opportunity was categorised as a service and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It therefore concerns specialist consultancy or technical support for a public-sector case management system and may be relevant to firms with experience supporting comparable CMS or business-critical systems.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective call-off procedure from a framework agreement, specifically G-Cloud 14. The contract was awarded to AllThorpe Consulting Ltd on 31 March 2026 for £1,242,300 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 30 June 2026. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2026. The award is active and the wider tender status is complete. The procurement was evaluated as a computer-related professional services requirement, with the stated scope being support for the CMS project. The award covers one supplier and one requirement; no separate lot awards are identified.

For suppliers that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates demand from the Serious Fraud Office for focused, short-term support to a case management system. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in computer-related professional services and experience delivering CMS support in a public-sector or similarly controlled operating environment. The buyer used a framework call-off route, so relevant firms would also need a route to participate through the applicable framework or a suitable framework partner. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller specialist consultancy could be commercially relevant where it can provide the required technical expertise, delivery capacity and understanding of operational casework systems.
