## Summary

The public procurement process for a "Data Maturity Assessment" project concluded on 1st April 2026, with NS&I as the buying organisation. This initiative focuses on IT services within the "consulting, software development, Internet and support" category and is aimed at enhancing data-driven decision making at NS&I. Located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom, the contract was awarded on 23rd March 2026 and will last until 22nd June 2026. The procurement was facilitated via the CCS G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement using a selective method for a call-off from a framework, underlining NS&I’s commitment to aligning its data capabilities with strategic and governmental objectives.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses skilled in data consultancy, specifically those proficient in IT services and software development. While the procurement method was selective, large-scale firms akin to Praesto Consulting UK Limite who have been awarded the contract would find this opportunity advantageous, given the comprehensive nature of objectives outlined for assessing data maturity. The ability to offer strategic improvements, operational efficiencies, and compliance support with NS&I’s objectives can be a unique niche, particularly for software development and consultancy service providers seeking to expand their footprint in government-aligned projects in the UK.

## Notice

NS&I requires a comprehensive Data Maturity Assessment to understand the organisation's current data capabilities and to identify the improvements required to strengthen data driven decision making, operational effectiveness, and compliance. The assessment should align with NS&I's strategic objectives and, where relevant, the Government's National Data Strategy and the Data Maturity Assessment for Government Framework. Objectives The objectives of this commission are to: 1. Assess NS&I's current data maturity across all relevant dimensions, including culture, governance, quality, technology, skills, processes, and data use. 2. Identify gaps, risks, constraints and opportunities for improvement. 3. Highlight quick wins, medium term actions, and longer term structural changes. 4. Produce a prioritised, costed, and practical roadmap, with clear ownership and success measures. 5. Provide insights that support organisational transformation, improved customer outcomes, and enhanced data driven value. ### This contract was awarded via the CCS G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement RM1557.14 for a 3-month term. ###
