## Summary

The National Audit Office procured HR advisory services to support its management of employee relations. The work falls within business and management consultancy and related services, covering advice to the organisation’s management on employee-relations matters. It is a services requirement for delivery in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is the National Audit Office, based in London. This is a focused HR advisory engagement rather than a general recruitment, payroll or workforce-supply contract, so it is most relevant to consultancies and specialist providers with the capability to advise public-sector management on employee-relations issues and related HR casework. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that suppliers of this scale can be credible competitors for comparable work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AdviserPlus Business Solutions Ltd. The award date was 16 January 2026. The contract value is £25,000 inclusive of VAT, with a contract period from 23 January 2026 to 22 January 2027. The tender deadline was 16 January 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The National Audit Office used a limited procedure through a competitive quotation below the applicable threshold. The selected supplier is AdviserPlus Business Solutions Ltd. The procurement was evaluated through the competitive quotation process, and the published outcome records an active award. It was a single services requirement rather than a procurement divided into lots. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined demand for external HR advice supporting employee-relations management at the National Audit Office. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need specialist employee-relations expertise, including the ability to advise managers on sensitive workplace cases, interpret and apply employment policies, and provide clear, practical guidance. Experience of delivering advisory services to public bodies would strengthen a bid, particularly where confidentiality, consistency, defensible decision-making and careful handling of employee information are important. The route used here also shows that smaller consultancies can be relevant, provided they can respond efficiently to a competitive quotation and demonstrate dependable access to suitably experienced advisers. Providers should be able to deliver responsive, professional support within a focused consultancy engagement.
