Summary of the contracting process

The National Archives procured renewal of hardware support for its CheckPoint equipment, a specialist IT support service. The requirement is for support over an initial 12-month period, with provision for two optional 12-month extensions. The work is for The National Archives in Richmond, England. The contract concerns ongoing support for existing CheckPoint hardware rather than a general software supply or wider IT service. This is relevant to providers able to maintain and support CheckPoint hardware for a public-sector organisation; the stated requirement is specifically a support renewal, not a new hardware purchase.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MTI Technology Limited. The award date was 21 November 2025. The stated contract period runs from 8 January 2026 to 7 January 2028, consistent with a 12-month initial term and two optional 12-month extensions. The awarded value is £123,352.02. The stated tender value was also £123,352.02. The National Archives used a selective procedure to call off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 21 November 2025 at 17:00. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to supply this service. The award is active.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates The National Archives’ demand for continued support of CheckPoint hardware through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need to provide the relevant CheckPoint hardware support and deliver continuity of service for an existing installation, rather than simply supply equipment or general IT support. The stated suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises indicates that the requirement was not limited to large businesses. No particular accreditation, staffing level or prior experience threshold is stated, so the clearest commercial fit is a supplier with demonstrable capability to support CheckPoint hardware at the scale of this contract and to serve The National Archives in Richmond.
