The National Archives, a central government public authority located in Richmond, UK, has recently completed a procurement process for the installation of Fibre Optic and Cat6 cables. This project, which supports the movement of the Digital Preservation Lab and the relocation of the Collection Care Department's strong room, falls under the 'works' industry category. The process reached the award stage on 18th September 2025, and the procurement was conducted via a direct method without competition, representing a below-threshold process.
