Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Audit Office procured IT equipment for summer graduates, new starters and storeroom replenishment. The requirement covers the supply of equipment supporting staff onboarding and replacement or replenishment of stock, classified under information technology services (CPV 72222300). Delivery is for the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the National Audit Office, based in London. This is a technology supply opportunity rather than a software development, consultancy or construction requirement. Businesses with the ability to source, configure, supply and support workplace IT equipment for organisational users would find the subject matter most relevant. The stated requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that organisations of these types were eligible to participate.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The National Audit Office used a limited procedure described as a competitive quotation below threshold. Bids had to be submitted by 20 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to Bechtle Direct Limited on 1 August 2026 for £50,000 inclusive of VAT. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 10 August 2027. The award is active. The requirement was evaluated through the competitive quotation process, with the procurement covering the overall supply of IT equipment for graduates, new starters and storeroom replenishment. This outcome identifies the purchasing route and the scale at which the National Audit Office obtained the requirement.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need dependable access to workplace IT equipment, the capacity to fulfil orders for new starters and graduate intakes, and the ability to replenish organisational stores. Experience of supplying public-sector or similarly controlled organisations would help demonstrate reliable fulfilment, stock management, order accuracy and service continuity. Suppliers should be able to respond efficiently to a competitive quotation process below the threshold, while presenting clear pricing and a practical delivery offer. The award to Bechtle Direct Limited shows that the buyer accepted a large IT supplier for this requirement, but the stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller organisations with appropriate supply-chain access and operational capacity could also be credible competitors when the requirement returns.
