## Summary

The Nursing and Midwifery Council procured strategic technology support services covering delivery assurance, implementation risk mitigation and the identification of latent operational risks across regulatory and corporate functions. The work also includes business analysis across the Council’s software development portfolio and technology pipeline. This is an IT consulting and support requirement, within CPV 72000000, delivered in London. The buying organisation is the Nursing and Midwifery Council, based at 23 Portland Place, London. The requirement is classed as services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is relevant to consultancies providing technology assurance, operational risk review, business analysis and portfolio-level technology support.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The contract was awarded to BIP Consulting UK Limited on 24 July 2026. The awarded value is £428,400. The awarded contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 April 2027. The tender had an estimated value of £214,200 and a submission deadline of 24 July 2026 at 5pm. It was a selective call-off from the G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement, Lot 3: Cloud Support, rather than an open competition. The award was made under the framework route and the published requirement used a direct award. The buyer evaluated and selected a single supplier for the complete requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from the Nursing and Midwifery Council for specialist advisers able to provide independent technology delivery assurance alongside operational risk assessment. A credible future competitor would need experience of reviewing technology implementation, identifying risks that may not yet be visible, and translating findings into practical controls across regulatory and corporate functions. Strong business analysis capability is also important, particularly the ability to assess software development portfolios and technology pipelines rather than individual projects in isolation. Suppliers should be able to operate effectively within a cloud-support framework call-off and demonstrate sufficient consultancy capacity for a substantial, multi-disciplinary assignment. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, creating a relevant benchmark for smaller technology and risk consultancies.

## Notice

The contract was direct awarded under G-Cloud 14 Framework Agreement RM1557.14, Lot 3: Cloud Support. The contract is for the provision of strategic support to help mitigate technology delivery and implementation risk and to identify latent operational risk across regulatory and corporate functions. In addition, the NMC requires business analysis activity across its software development portfolio and technology pipeline.
