Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the National Audit Office extending its contract for the hosting and maintenance of an external website. This contract extension falls under the services category, specifically for Internet service providers (ISP) with a classification code of 72411000. The procurement relates to a contract originally set through the Digital Outcomes and Specialists 5 (RM1043.7). The planned duration for this extension is from 22 August 2024 to 21 August 2026, with a final expiry date of 21 August 2026. The entire process was designed as a contract extension, illustrating a distinct method rather than a traditional competitive tender process, and it was last updated on 5 September 2025.

This tender extension opens opportunities for businesses currently operating or looking to expand within the Internet services industry, particularly those specializing in hosting solutions. Given the involvement of an SME like The Dextrous Web (DXW) as the supplier, similar small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find this procurement landscape favourable for growth. Companies based in or able to efficiently serve the United Kingdom market could benefit from exploring future opportunities with the National Audit Office or similar organisations requiring digital services. Overall, firms with a focus on innovation and speciality in digital solutions could position themselves well for growth through such projects.
