This tender was in the category of systems support services, with a focus on digital service provision, including a notification portal and case management system for the Investment Security Unit. The final award was issued on 31st January 2024 to ACUBED IT SOLUTIONS LIMITED. The contract, valued at £2,700,000, runs from 1st February 2024 to 31st March 2026 and is applicable across a wide geographical scope, including the United Kingdom and a broad international presence across Europe and beyond. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, highlighting the strategic approach to sourcing. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in digital systems support services, particularly those adept at managing public-facing online platforms and internal case management systems. Although this specific contract is awarded, similar opportunities within the public sector could provide growth avenues for IT service providers and consultancy firms. Companies with experience in government contracts, specifically in supporting legal and due diligence frameworks through digital solutions, are well-suited to pursue such opportunities. Engaging with frameworks and establishing a presence in government procurement can enhance business profiles and open doors to future collaborations. ## Notice Investment Security Unit (ISU) is seeking a supplier to support its digital service ("the NSI Digital Service"), which consists of the following components: Notification Portal and Initial Due Diligence portal - a public facing online portal into which businesses submit notifications as required under the NSI Act, and an internal 'due diligence' portal for ISU to review notifications before accepting or rejecting them. Case Management System (CMS) - a case management system to enable the smooth handling of case work within statutory timelines, collaboration across government departments, ensuring good workflow management, generation of management information, and robust records management. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/31600da2-c59a-4d2f-990a-d7ec9b14450d | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Nov 2025 | | Submission deadline | 31 Jan 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 31 Jan 2024 | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2024 - 31 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £2,700,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £2,700,000 | | 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 | CROWN COMMERCIAL SERVICE | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L3 9PP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | City Centre North | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Riverside | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ACUBED IT SOLUTIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72253200 - Systems support services ## Release History - 17 Nov 2025 at 11:39 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/31600da2-c59a-4d2f-990a-d7ec9b14450d - 1 Mar 2024 at 10:19 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/31600da2-c59a-4d2f-990a-d7ec9b14450d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/31600da2-c59a-4d2f-990a-d7ec9b14450d 17th November 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/2081097b-fe64-4c37-bb79-ffd7711edd1e - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3f32c7bd-8034-46df-a406-c1864e410d33 Contract variation notice ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/crown-commercial-service ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
