## Summary

NPL Management Limited bought specialist product lifecycle management (PLM) engineering support services. The work covers technical expertise, consultancy and support to maintain, develop and optimise PLM systems and related engineering processes. Activities may include system administration, user support, system configuration, process improvement and technical guidance, supporting the operation of engineering and product data management. The buying organisation is NPL Management Limited, based at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington. The awarded service is recorded as being delivered in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to TECHNIA LIMITED. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and runs for that date only. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT (£60,000 including VAT). The requirement was for support for the remainder of the financial year. It was a below-threshold procurement; the specific procedure is not identified. The procurement was arranged as a single lot. The published award information does not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements.

This award demonstrates demand from NPL Management Limited for focused PLM engineering support rather than a broad engineering services package. A credible supplier for a similar requirement would need hands-on expertise in administering, configuring and supporting PLM systems, alongside the ability to advise on system development, engineering-process improvement and product data management. The scope combines technical consultancy with responsive user support, so suppliers would need to provide both specialist system knowledge and practical assistance to engineering users. TECHNIA LIMITED, identified as an SME, won this award, showing that a smaller specialist supplier can deliver this type of requirement. The work is relatively compact and time-limited, making the ability to mobilise appropriate expertise for a defined support assignment commercially relevant.

## Notice
