## Summary

The National Audit Office (NAO) has completed the procurement process for the "ICO Annual Registration (2025 - 2030)" contract, which falls under the industry category of statutory audit services. This contract serves the statutory requirement for registering a Data Protection Officer with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). The procurement was finalised with an active award on 1st September 2025, following a tender period that concluded on 15th August 2025. The contract period spans from 15th September 2025 to 14th September 2030. The procurement method was limited due to its nature as a statutory obligation, and the procurement was managed in London, SW1W 9SP, England.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in statutory audit services, particularly those focused on compliance and data protection services. Ideal candidates for this contract include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as the procurement is identified as suitable for SMEs. The contract, valued at £25,000, offers a stable income stream over a five-year period and the potential for businesses to expand their public sector portfolio, especially those that can provide specialised services related to statutory compliance and registration. The tender process was restricted due to its mandatory nature, emphasising the importance of having the specific expertise and qualifications to meet NAO’s statutory requirements efficiently.

## Notice

The NAO has a statutory requirement to register a Data Protection Officer with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO.) The annual renewal fee is PS3,763.00 (but has increased since last year, so could increase in future years). This business case supports the contract against which this statutory requirement can be paid against. We are not able to get 5 quotes as registration with the ICO is a statutory requirement, which limits NAO ability to seek alternative quotations. The payments have to be paid online, and we do not receive an invoice for them - just an email stating the annual cost and deadline.
