## Summary

The National Audit Office (NAO) has successfully awarded a contract to IDEAGEN SOLUTIONS LIMITED for the provision of the Ideagen Pentana Audit MK 12.0, an audit management and documentation solution. This award, valued at £100,800, falls under the IT services industry category and is specifically for consulting, software development, Internet, and support services. The contract is set from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029 and was established via a sole source procurement method, particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Although the tender phase concluded on 1st March 2026, the official award was confirmed as active on 13th March 2026, involving the primary location at the NAO's headquarters in London, postcode SW1W 9SP.

This tender presents a pivotal business growth opportunity, especially for IT service providers specialising in audit management systems, software development, and support services. Companies that can offer reliable software solutions and ongoing support are particularly well-positioned to compete in similar procurement processes. While this specific contract was awarded to a large supplier, small and medium-sized enterprises, which meet the necessary criteria, could leverage such opportunities to demonstrate their capabilities and expand their market presence with public sector buyers like the National Audit Office.

## Notice
