Summary of the contracting process

The National Archives, located in Richmond, England, has recently completed a procurement process for the renewal of meeting room equipment as part of a post-refurbishment project. The procurement process was conducted via a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, classified under the industry category of "Miscellaneous computer equipment" with a CPV code of 30236000. The contract, valued at £118,111, was awarded to Bechtle Limited, with a contract period from 13th July 2026 to 12th August 2026. The award was published on 17th July 2026, following the tender period ending on 2nd July 2026.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the supply of computer equipment and related services, especially those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as they were included as suitable for the tender. Engaging in such contracts can provide businesses with the opportunity to establish relationships with public sector organisations like The National Archives, potentially leading to repeat business and a more robust market presence.
