## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is procuring records management services across the United Kingdom. The work covers listing records, carrying out digital checks, numbering and cataloguing materials, repairing and boxing records, and preparing files for transfer to The National Archives. It also includes maintaining archive inventories and providing research and administrative support. This is a public-sector information and document management requirement, suited to suppliers that can combine physical records handling, archival preparation, inventory control and administrative research services. The requirement is for the Authority’s records and archive operations, with delivery taking place in the United Kingdom.

The procurement has been awarded through a selective, non-competitive call-off under a framework agreement, and the tender is complete. One lot was awarded to RESTORE PLC on 18 August 2026. The award is worth £1,517,568 excluding VAT and £1,821,082 including VAT. The contract period runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with two optional six-month extensions at the Authority’s discretion; the maximum end date is 31 August 2028. The award is subject to a standstill period ending on 8 September 2026, with contract signature scheduled for 9 September 2026. Evaluation was conducted through the framework call-off route rather than a competitive tender.

This award demonstrates established demand from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office for end-to-end records management rather than simple storage. A credible future competitor would need practical capability in records listing, digital quality checks, numbering, cataloguing, repair, boxing and preparation for transfer to The National Archives. It would also need to maintain accurate archive inventories and provide dependable research and administrative support. The requirement favours suppliers able to manage both physical and digital records, apply consistent information controls, and support public-sector archival obligations at substantial scale. Experience delivering an integrated records service, with sufficient operational capacity and staff able to handle routine processing alongside research support, would strengthen a supplier’s position when this buyer next reviews the requirement.
