UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Nursing and Midwifery Council procured document management software and associated document management services for the modernisation of its Fitness to Practise programme. The requirement covers software provision and services supporting the management of documents within the Council’s regulatory operations. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The procurement is categorised as services and was arranged as a single requirement for the Council. The selected supplier, Connecting Software s.r.o. & Co KG, is based in Vienna, Austria, while the buying organisation is the UK Nursing and Midwifery Council, headquartered in London. The opportunity is therefore relevant to suppliers of document management platforms, software licensing and implementation or support services for public-sector, regulatory or case-management environments.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Connecting Software s.r.o. & Co KG. It was conducted as a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, covering one lot. The contract was signed on 6 July 2026 and runs from 13 July 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £75,894 excluding VAT and £91,072.80 including VAT. The contract is active. The Council has an option to increase the number of software licences if its requirements change. The award was made through a non-competitive below-threshold route rather than an open tender, so the outcome reflects a direct selection of the supplier for this document management requirement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from a national professional regulator for document management software and related services supporting a sensitive Fitness to Practise programme. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would offer a proven document management platform, dependable licensing arrangements and the technical capability to support implementation and ongoing service delivery across the UK. Experience with regulatory, case-management or other public-sector environments would help demonstrate an understanding of controlled records, operational workflows and the need for reliable access to documents. The licensing model should be scalable, since the Council may need to increase user or system licences as its requirements develop. A credible competitor would also need to show that its software and support model can remain effective over a multi-year service period.
