## Summary

The National Audit Office (NAO) is currently seeking bids for the provision of copy-editing services, with a tender published on 27th April 2019. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically for proofreading services as defined by the CPV code 79821100. The tender period closes on 24th May 2019, and the contract is expected to start on 20th June 2019, running until 19th June 2024. Delivery addresses for the services include locations across the UK and beyond.

This opportunity is ideal for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in editorial services, particularly those with experience in producing or editing content for public sector organisations. The demand is expected to peak around February/March and June/July, making it a valuable opportunity for businesses to secure a steady flow of work supporting the NAO's significant reporting activities. Interested parties should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to handle high volumes of work effectively and adhere to strict deadlines.

## 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.
