Summary of the contracting process

NPL Management Limited, the organisation behind the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, bought professional services to implement a new enterprise project management tool. The requirement covered configuration and deployment of the selected platform, system setup, migration support, integration with other systems, testing, user training and project management. The purpose was to support adoption and ongoing operation of the enterprise project management platform across NPL. This is a technology implementation and project management consultancy requirement, classified under CPV 72224000. The work is for delivery in the United Kingdom and relates to one complete lot. It would suit suppliers providing end-to-end enterprise software implementation rather than firms offering only a standalone project management application or isolated consultancy service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through the G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement using a below-threshold procedure whose detailed method is recorded as unknown. Corporate Project Solutions Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026 and runs from 12 August 2026 to 1 January 2027. Its value is £10,698,000 excluding VAT, or £12,837,600 including VAT. The published outcome records the supplier as an active awardee and the contract as active. The requirement was evaluated as a services procurement, with the award linked to the completed lot. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and contract value but does not set out a separate award date or detailed scoring basis.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates substantial demand from NPL for a complete enterprise project management platform implementation, delivered through a government framework and at significant implementation scale. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to configure and deploy an EPM solution, establish the supporting system environment, migrate existing information, integrate connected systems and manage structured testing. It would also need to provide practical user training and project management to achieve adoption across a complex scientific organisation. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this type of work can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by the largest technology integrators. Relevant experience should therefore combine software delivery, integration, migration, change support and implementation governance.
