## Summary

The National Audit Office (NAO) has completed the procurement process for the provision of copy-editing services, which is classified under the CPV category of proofreading services. The open tender, titled "Provision of Copy-Editing Services," was initiated on 1st September 2019, with a deadline for submissions on the same date. The awarded contract, valued at £125,000, has a duration from 2nd September 2019 to 31st August 2024. This service supports the NAO's production of approximately 65 Value for Money reports and various other publications annually, aimed at enhancing the quality of their output across the UK.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in copy-editing and proofreading services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with the capacity to handle consistent and high-quality work on a year-round basis. The demand for these services is expected to peak during certain months, notably February, March, June, and July, making this a timely opportunity for interested suppliers to engage with a prominent organisation like the NAO. Companies capable of delivering expert editing for a range of formal publications would be well-suited to compete effectively for such contracts.

## Notice

The work is for any type of published output from The National Audit Office (NAO). The NAO produces circa 65 Value for Money (VfM) reports and investigations every year. In addition to these there are other materials that the organisation needs to publish e.g. the annual report which includes the NAO's accounts. Therefore, this copy-editing and proofreading requirement covers the 65 VfM / investigations and around a further 5 other types of publication. The reports are broadly spread evenly throughout the year with peaks in demand in Feb/March and June/July.
