Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Lottery Community Fund procured digital implementation and support services for its Grant Management System (GMS), supporting the delivery of critical maintenance projects. The requirement covers ad-hoc critical maintenance work for the Fund’s grants management platform, including the technical services needed to maintain and support the system. This is an information technology services opportunity, covering consulting, software development, internet and support activities. The work is for the Fund’s operations in the United Kingdom. The buyer is The National Lottery Community Fund, based in Birmingham. Suppliers with experience of implementing, maintaining and supporting digital grants management platforms would be relevant to this requirement, particularly those able to respond to varied and urgent maintenance needs.

The procurement is complete and an active award was made to Gauri Ltd. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026. The requirement was handled as a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, through a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 catalogue. The procurement rationale states that it fell outside the relevant directive’s scope. The tender used one lot for ad-hoc critical maintenance projects, with price as the award criterion. One bid was recorded, with valid bid values ranging from £150,000 to £810,000. The lot is recorded as cancelled, although an active award and active contract are recorded against it. The lot included one 12-month extension option.

This procurement demonstrates demand from The National Lottery Community Fund for specialist support of a live grants management platform and for delivery of ad-hoc critical maintenance projects. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical capability in digital grants management systems, including implementation, software support, maintenance, troubleshooting and software development. The requirement favours suppliers able to handle critical or unplanned maintenance tasks as well as ongoing platform support, with pricing central to evaluation. The winning supplier, Gauri Ltd, is recorded as an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist technology business. Suppliers should also understand how to provide services through the G-Cloud catalogue and demonstrate capacity to support a public-sector grants organisation.
