The requirement is classified as software packages and information systems and falls within the goods category. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The purchase supports the Authority’s use of a specialist case-management platform rather than general software supply. Suppliers relevant to this requirement are those providing Nimbus licences, associated portal access, or closely aligned forensic case-management software and information systems. The buyer is the Competition and Markets Authority, a UK public authority based in London. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist software providers as well as larger technology businesses with the relevant licensing and support capability. The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender closed on 13 August 2026, and the contract runs from 14 August 2026 to 13 August 2027. The estimated procurement value was between £31,000 and £62,000 GBP. Black Rainbow Consulting Ltd was awarded the contract for £31,000 GBP on 14 August 2026. The award is active, and the contract notice records that the contract has been signed. The published information identifies the procurement as a software subscription for Nimbus core and portal licences. The award followed the dynamic purchasing system call-off route; no separate quality, price weighting or other evaluation basis is stated in the procurement information. This award indicates a defined requirement within the Competition and Markets Authority for specialist forensic case-management software, including core platform and portal licensing. A credible future competitor would need to supply the Nimbus product or hold the relevant commercial licensing and distribution arrangements, with the capacity to provide reliable access to both core and portal components. Experience supporting software and information systems in a public-sector or regulated environment would help demonstrate delivery credibility, particularly where case information and user access need to be managed securely and consistently. The opportunity is suitable for SMEs, so a specialist software provider with focused licensing, implementation or support capability can be relevant alongside larger suppliers. Familiarity with call-offs from dynamic purchasing systems would also be important for competing through the buyer’s established route. ## Notice Subscription for Nimbus core and portal licences ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/50bf06ee-bf4b-492e-b02b-37d8994711c4 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a dynamic purchasing system | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 24 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 13 Aug 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Aug 2026 | | Contract period | 14 Aug 2026 - 13 Aug 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £62,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £31,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Competition and Markets Authority | | Locality | LONDON | | Postcode area | Central London | | Postcode | WC1B 4AD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Bloomsbury | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | Black Rainbow Consulting Ltd | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems ## Release History - 24 Aug 2026 at 11:55 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/50bf06ee-bf4b-492e-b02b-37d8994711c4 - 19 Aug 2026 at 12:17 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/50bf06ee-bf4b-492e-b02b-37d8994711c4 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/50bf06ee-bf4b-492e-b02b-37d8994711c4 24th August 2026 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/1479a325-c8bd-4e84-9d44-ad6f1f463e43 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
