Located in Kew, Surrey, this contract aims to enhance TNA's IT operations with professional services, particularly in technology architecture and investment initiatives. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2019, lasting for an initial period of two years, with the option for up to two one-year extensions. The expected total value of services over the contract duration is capped at £250,000 excluding VAT, with no guarantees for minimum expenditure. The tender period concluded on 20th February 2019. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for IT consulting and service providers looking to expand their business with public sector contracts. Companies offering services in consulting, software development, and IT support will find this procurement particularly relevant. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as there may be room for agile suppliers to complement TNA's existing teams with bespoke solutions tailored to their strategic objectives. ## Notice The objective of this tender exercise is to source an IT strategic technology partner to provide professional services for a range of technological solutions at The National Archives (TNA). Our aim is to work in partnership with a supplier who will provide additional, ad-hoc resources to complement TNA's existing IT Operations team in key areas such as technology architecture and IT investment initiatives that contribute to us achieving the objectives that support our IT Strategic Plan. We intend to award a contract for an initial period of 2 years, with an option to extend for up to 2 additional periods of up twelve months each (2+1+1). TNA, which operates from a single site in Kew, Surrey, anticipates total demand for professional services over the duration of this contract will not exceed a combined sum of PS250,000 excluding VAT but makes no commitment to any minimum level of expenditure during the contract period. We envisage the potential supplier will operate on a fixed cost per engagement basis within agreed terms and conditions based on delivery of a defined piece of work. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da7a59c7-d6d6-4da2-902a-7358195dde15 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Apr 2019 | | Submission deadline | 20 Feb 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 19 Mar 2019 | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2019 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £250,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES | | Locality | RICHMOND | | Post town | Twickenham | | Postcode | TW9 4DU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI7 Outer London - West and North West | | ITL 3 | TLI75 Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames | | Local authority | Richmond upon Thames | | Electoral ward | Kew | | Westminster constituency | Richmond Park | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | EACS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 72000000 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ## Release History - 9 Apr 2019 at 13:59 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da7a59c7-d6d6-4da2-902a-7358195dde15 - 1 Feb 2019 at 16:17 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eada49ba-8355-426f-8058-1dd575ea9670 - 21 Jan 2019 at 13:32 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eada49ba-8355-426f-8058-1dd575ea9670 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/da7a59c7-d6d6-4da2-902a-7358195dde15 9th April 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/eada49ba-8355-426f-8058-1dd575ea9670 1st February 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e6393c8f-ce61-4520-ace2-226a7abb48c5 Invitation to Tender - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/a74b6277-0fd1-417f-8eb5-51aa7e07a6cf ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
