## Summary

The National Audit Office (NAO) has completed the procurement process for the "CPT_24_19 - Posit Connect and Package Manager 24/25" contract, classified under the data analysis services category (CPV code: 72316000). This single-source procurement, handled by NAO's procurement department, will see a one-year contract/license renewal worth £38,714.44 with R Studio INC to support the hosting of various bespoke data analytics tools. The contract started on 1st July 2024 and will run until 30th June 2025, with key dates including the tender period's end on 15th June 2024 and the award date on 6th June 2024. The procurement took place in the United Kingdom and is directed towards services necessary for the NAO's audit work.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in software and data analysis services, particularly those able to provide essential and tailored analytics tools. While the contract was awarded through a sole-source method, it is evident that similar future contracts could benefit other specialised software providers capable of offering unique and mandated services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in data analytics and a keen interest in supporting auditing and compliance tasks are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities, promoting business growth through the delivery of critical software solutions.

## Notice

CONTRACT AWARDED The NAO's requirement was for a one year contract/license renewal to support the hosting of various bespoke data analytics tools. The software is critical in that they enable the hosting of various data analytics applications for use by our service line teams and the use of these applications is mandatory in some teams and therefore the software licences are critical to the delivery of the NAO's audit work. A sole source supplier approach was approved as Posit (formerly R Studio) were the only providers of this specific software. The contract was awarded for one year.
