Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Nursing and Midwifery Council procured services to implement its environments strategy. The requirement covers systems and technical consultancy, including systems analysis, programming and cloud support, with consultancy support as an additional service. Delivery is for the Council’s operations in the United Kingdom. The appointed supplier is expected to support the implementation of the strategy through the services available under the relevant cloud support framework. This is a professional services requirement rather than a supply of physical goods or construction works. It is relevant to businesses providing cloud consultancy, technical environment strategy, systems analysis, programming or related digital transformation support, particularly those able to work with a UK public sector regulator such as the Nursing and Midwifery Council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Kerv Digital Limited on 7 August 2026. The award value is £70,300, while the tender’s estimated value is £37,150. The contract runs from 21 August 2026 to 21 December 2026, with an option for the Council to extend it once for up to three months. It was a direct award call-off from the Government Commercial Agency RM1557.14 G-Cloud 14 Framework, Lot 3: Cloud Support, rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at 5pm. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off route, with the appointed supplier providing the specified cloud support and consultancy services.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates that the Nursing and Midwifery Council buys focused cloud and technical consultancy to implement an environments strategy. A credible competitor for comparable work would need demonstrable capability in cloud support, technical consultancy, systems analysis and programming, together with the ability to provide practical consultancy support rather than only software or infrastructure. Framework access through G-Cloud 14, particularly the Cloud Support lot, was central to the route used here, so suppliers should understand framework call-off requirements and public sector delivery expectations. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller specialist firm with relevant delivery experience could be well placed when competing for similar Council work.
