Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Audit Office bought stock replenishment services for its operations. The requirement is classified as information technology services, but the description does not define the stock or the replenishment tasks in further detail. The buyer is the National Audit Office, based in London, and the stated delivery country is the United Kingdom. This is a service requirement rather than a works contract or a purchase of specified goods. The process names no separate delivery site or location within the UK. The contract was awarded to Bechtle Direct Limited, a large supplier, for the replenishment service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Bechtle Direct Limited on 20 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £18,000 including VAT for the nine-month period from 1 September 2026 to 31 May 2027. The procedure was a competitive quotation below the applicable threshold, using a limited procurement method. The tender response deadline was 1 August 2026. The requirement was treated as one procurement, with no separate lots described. The published data does not set out the evaluation criteria or specific eligibility conditions, so the outcome cannot be linked to a stated scoring basis or qualification threshold.

For suppliers considering similar future work with the National Audit Office, this award shows demand for stock replenishment delivered as an IT services requirement. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate a dependable replenishment service suited to the buyer’s operational needs, with the capacity to supply and manage the required stock across the contract term. The successful provider was a large company, although the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; smaller suppliers could therefore consider whether they can meet the operational scope. The route used was a competitive quotation below threshold, so suppliers should be prepared to respond efficiently to a quotation-based competition. The description gives no specific stock list, service levels, technology requirements or accreditation standards against which to judge capability.
