Tender description

DSIT conducted National Measurement System (NMS) Programme market engagement activities from 20th August 2025 to 3rd September 2025 during which no alternative suppliers expressed an interest in delivering one of the proposed 9 separate NMS programmes in their entirety. DSIT therefore took the decision to retain the existing, aggregated contract structure of NMS for the multi-year Phase 2 contracts, in order to drive operational efficiencies, reduce administrative overheads, and create additional capacity with which to address wider business needs. Future NMS Programme iterations will conduct similar market engagement opportunities to explore the market’s appetite to deliver all, or some, of the NMS programmes. ## Contract award Title: DSIT NMS LCG Phase 2 (GC & CBM)
