UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) Corporation procured digital specialist and business analysis consultancy services to support the modernisation of its change delivery processes. The work covers embedding an enterprise change framework and integrating tracking, reporting, governance, finance stage-gates and business planning into a digital process. It also includes portfolio tooling and integration with outsourced partners, tooling architecture and roadmaps, data ownership, operating model design, transition support, product and value-stream taxonomies, team blueprints, funding and governance models, stage-gate procedures, evidence standards, templates, coaching materials and a learning library. The requirement includes piloting an operating model with third-party suppliers and continuous improvement. Delivery is across the United Kingdom for NEST Corporation, based in London.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Sullivan & Stanley Limited on 14 July 2026. It was a selective procedure using an existing framework, with competition not reopened, and comprised one completed lot. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2028. Its value is £3,000,000 excluding VAT, or £3,600,000 including VAT. The award is above the relevant threshold. The contract is active. The contracting route was a framework award, linked to a framework covering digital specialist services. The published scope indicates that the buyer evaluated suppliers able to provide defined digital, change-management and business-analysis capabilities across the full modernisation programme.

This opportunity demonstrates substantial demand from NEST Corporation for specialist consultancy combining digital tooling, enterprise change management and business analysis. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would need to design and embed integrated change-delivery processes, connect portfolio tools across an organisation and its outsourced partners, and translate operating-model concepts into practical governance, funding and delivery arrangements. Credible capability would include integration architecture, data ownership models, implementation planning, stage-gate controls, evidence standards, governance documentation and business-planning disciplines. Experience of piloting outcome-based delivery teams, continuous improvement, supplier collaboration and transition support would be relevant. The work also favours providers able to produce reusable charters, templates, coaching packs and learning resources, while supporting adoption from an initial product through to a mature integrated process.
