Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ofcom procured ICT consultancy to support the procurement of a new ICT support service contract. The requirement is classified as IT services, covering consulting, software development, internet and support, although the stated scope is consultancy for the ICT support-service procurement. This is a services contract delivered in London, with the buyer based at Riverside House, Southwark Bridge Road, London. The procurement was undertaken by Ofcom, the UK communications regulator. The work was let through the Government Commercial Agency management consultancy framework, under Lot 6. It is therefore relevant to consultancies that advise public bodies on ICT sourcing, service design and procurement, rather than primarily to businesses supplying day-to-day IT support operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award decision was made on 7 July 2026 to Moorhouse Consulting Ltd. The awarded value is £159,990. The contract runs from 29 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 22 June 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation details identify the requirement as a consultancy services call-off from the framework; the procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier is Moorhouse Consulting Ltd. The recorded contract period and award value apply to this single requirement, with no separate lots or multiple award values reported.

For competitors, this award demonstrates a defined demand at Ofcom for specialist ICT procurement consultancy delivered through a public-sector management consultancy framework. A credible future supplier would need to advise on procuring a new ICT support service contract, understand public procurement routes and framework call-offs, and translate Ofcom’s operational needs into a robust sourcing and service requirement. Relevant strengths would include ICT commercial strategy, requirements development, market engagement, tender documentation, supplier evaluation and support through contract award. The opportunity is suitable in principle for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist consultancies with demonstrable public-sector procurement capability may be well placed alongside larger firms. Experience of regulated organisations and complex ICT support arrangements would strengthen a competing offer.
