Summary of the contracting process

NS&I, the UK government savings and investments organisation, procured an annual agreement for financial adviser activity throughout the year. The requirement is classified as advertising and marketing services and is delivered across the United Kingdom. The work falls within the services category and is intended to support NS&I’s financial adviser activity over the agreement period. The selected provider is TIMELINEAPP TECH LIMITED, a London-based small or medium-sized enterprise. This opportunity is therefore relevant to businesses providing financial adviser-related services, or advertising and marketing support connected with financial adviser activity, particularly those able to serve a national public-sector client. The buyer is NS&I, based in London, and the requirement concerns services rather than goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. NS&I used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 18 May 2026 and awarded to TIMELINEAPP TECH LIMITED. The active contract runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £15,000 excluding VAT and £18,000 including VAT. One completed lot was awarded to the supplier. The procurement was evaluated through the buyer’s direct, non-competitive route rather than an open tender. The contract is an annual agreement for financial adviser activity, with the requirement classified under advertising and marketing services. The award is recorded as active and the contract is also active, so this is an awarded procurement rather than a current bidding opportunity.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear reference point for NS&I’s demand for recurring financial adviser activity supported by advertising and marketing services. A credible competitor would need to show relevant experience delivering this type of service for a public-sector organisation, with the operational ability to support activity throughout an agreement period and across the United Kingdom. The selected provider is a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the requirement has been fulfilled by an organisation of relatively modest scale rather than only by a major corporation. Businesses with a comparable service offering, public-sector delivery experience and sufficient capacity for a national NS&I requirement would be the closest competitors when this need is next reviewed.
