UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Audit Office procured online Vyond animation software licences to support the development of its eLearning content. This is a software licensing and related software service requirement, covering animation software rather than general-purpose productivity tools. The contract serves the NAO’s own learning-content development needs, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement was arranged as a single package and awarded to one supplier. It is a focused digital-tools purchase for organisations that can supply access to Vyond’s online animation software and support its use in creating learning materials.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Bechtle Limited. The NAO used a below-threshold limited competition, described as a quotation process. The award was signed on 3 August 2026. The contract’s initial one-year period runs from 13 August 2026 to 12 August 2027, with four optional one-year extensions; if all are used, the final expiry is 12 August 2031. The recorded contract value is £15,000 excluding VAT and £18,000 including VAT for the potential five-year term. The award covered one package of software licences. No evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details.

For suppliers considering comparable work for the National Audit Office, this award indicates demand for online animation software licences to enable in-house eLearning content development. A credible competitor would need to supply access to the Vyond platform and demonstrate that its licensing offer can serve an organisation’s learning-content production needs. The successful supplier was a large IT supplier, showing that the requirement was met through a business able to provide software licensing at organisational scale. The route used was a below-threshold limited quotation competition, so suppliers should be prepared to respond to a competitive quotation process rather than assume an open tender. The procurement is a single-package software requirement, not a broader animation production commission.
