UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NPL Management Limited engaged a consultancy to provide programme management services for its strategic programmes and projects. The work covers planning, governance, coordination, monitoring and delivery, including driving completion of the baseline plan, developing programme-level risks and issues, managing mitigations and escalations, refining ways of working, coordinating dependencies across workstreams, managing the programme budget, producing monthly reporting summaries, and providing subject-matter expertise and support. This is a professional services requirement in project and programme management, classified under CPV 79421000 (project-management services other than for construction work). Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for NPL Management Limited, a public undertaking based at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a below-threshold procedure recorded as “unknown”, with one completed lot. Halden Consulting was selected as the supplier and holds an active award. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026 and has a stated contract period from 10 August 2026 to 10 August 2026. Its value is £5,200,000 excluding VAT and £6,240,000 including VAT. The contract is below the applicable threshold. The requirement was evaluated as a services procurement, and the published outcome identifies Halden Consulting as the successful supplier. The process therefore records a completed procurement and an active contract rather than a current opportunity to submit proposals.

This award indicates demand for a substantial, end-to-end programme management capability at NPL Management Limited. Suppliers that are well placed for a future requirement would need to coordinate strategic programmes and projects across multiple workstreams, establish and maintain baseline plans, identify and manage risks and issues, and escalate matters proactively. Credibility would also depend on practical experience of programme governance, dependency management, budget control and monthly performance reporting. The requirement favours a consultancy able to provide senior subject-matter expertise alongside hands-on delivery support, improve programme ways of working and keep teams focused on delivery. Organisations with demonstrable experience managing complex public-sector or technical programmes would be better positioned to compete when this buyer next tests the market.
