Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS Foundation Trust procured IT consultancy and support services for its nhs.net migration. The requirement was for “floor walkers” to support implementation with a central tenant, providing practical assistance during deployment and helping users and the organisation through the migration. The work was associated with general management consultancy and broader IT support, software, internet and consulting services. Delivery was in the West Midlands. The buyer is an NHS foundation trust based in Brierley Hill and the selected supplier, Nexus Nova Ltd, is an SME based in London. This opportunity is therefore relevant to IT consultancies and implementation-support providers with experience of working alongside NHS or other public-sector teams during tenant migrations and technology change.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through the CCS RM1557.14 G-Cloud 14 framework, Lot 2 Software. The stated award criterion was price. One bid was recorded. Nexus Nova Ltd received the active award, and the contract was signed on 21 July 2026 for £61,500. The single lot was marked cancelled, while the award and contract are active, so the recorded outcome is an awarded contract rather than an invitation to compete. The procurement rationale states that it was made using the G-Cloud 14 software lot and fell outside the scope of the relevant directive.

This award indicates a focused requirement for hands-on support during an NHS digital migration, rather than a general software supply contract. A credible competitor for comparable work would need people who can work directly with users and delivery teams during implementation, understand central-tenant environments, and provide practical floor-walking support alongside technical consultancy. Experience of NHS or similarly controlled public-sector environments would help demonstrate that the supplier can manage operational change, communicate with varied users and support adoption without disrupting services. The award also shows that an SME can satisfy this type of requirement through a public-sector technology framework, with price forming the stated basis of selection. Providers combining implementation support, user-facing consultancy and relevant framework access are the closest fit.
