This process falls under the open procurement method, identified as an open procedure, and is classified under research and development services, as well as related consultancy services. The tender was published on 10th September 2019, with the tender period concluding on 7th October 2019. The successful contract will run from 21st October 2019 until 31st January 2020 and will require deliveries to an address in Richmond, England (postal code TW9 4DU). This opportunity can significantly benefit consultancy firms and service providers with expertise in research and development, strategic planning, and organisational consultancy. Given the focus on structuring and staffing a new office, businesses specialising in consulting, especially small and medium enterprises, may find this tender particularly advantageous. Competitors with a background in public sector services or those that offer innovative solutions for strategic management within governmental contexts would be well-suited to take part in this tender. ## Notice The National Archives wishes to make applications for funding more strategic, planned and coherent, and are therefore thinking about creating a Funding and Development Office within TNA. We have concluded that we do not currently have the skills and expertise to support a decision as to whether this would be useful, and if so, how it should be structured and staffed, and what its remit should be. As a result, TNA is inviting bids to research its needs in this area, and to write a report making recommendations about how those needs should best be addressed. Written in plain English, the report will use desk research and interviews with internal and external colleagues to identify key issues, and make recommendations. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2450c61c-ce3c-4775-9fe3-ab32bfffcda3 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Nov 2019 | | Submission deadline | 7 Oct 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 16 Oct 2019 | | Contract period | 28 Oct 2019 - 29 Feb 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £15,570 | | 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 | LLEWELLYN MCLAREN CONSULTING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 92000000 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 1 Nov 2019 at 15:25 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2450c61c-ce3c-4775-9fe3-ab32bfffcda3 - 16 Sep 2019 at 14:50 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1d611c1-281f-4b88-ab3b-fc98a6511b27 - 10 Sep 2019 at 14:48 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1d611c1-281f-4b88-ab3b-fc98a6511b27 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2450c61c-ce3c-4775-9fe3-ab32bfffcda3 1st November 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f1d611c1-281f-4b88-ab3b-fc98a6511b27 16th September 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3bea30ee-5a96-4f4b-a7ec-7dc5d31337c1 Invitation to Tender - Scoping for Development Office - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0f3ca84c-897d-4e96-a0ee-75cd90536e9a Invitation to Tender - Scoping for Development Office (amended) ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
