Summary of the contracting process

The National Archives, a central government public authority based in Richmond, UK, recently completed a procurement process titled "External Board Effectiveness Review". The procurement, classified under business analysis consultancy services, aimed to conduct an external review of The National Archives' Board, as mandated by the Cabinet Office. The award was given to CAMPBELL TICKELL LIMITED in a procurement stage that has successfully transitioned from tender to award, ultimately resulting in an active contract status. This direct procurement method, below the threshold without competition, was signed on 1st September 2025, and spans from 5th September 2025 to 5th March 2026, with a gross value of £27,360.

This contract presents significant opportunities for growth, especially for businesses specialising in consultancy services related to organisational performance and effectiveness reviews. It highlights potential for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in business analysis to engage with central government bodies, thus expanding their portfolio and fostering visibility within the public sector. The involvement in such a project not only aligns with the strategic needs of governance bodies but also positions firms to leverage expertise and establish credibility in similar forthcoming tenders and contracts. Such engagements are ideal for businesses adept in offering incisive consultancy, particularly when contracts are procured through methods that bypass competitive bidding due to their specific nature and requirements.
