## Summary

The British Film Institute sought a QNAP network-attached storage (NAS) device, fully populated with drives as set out in the procurement documents. This is a hardware supply requirement for data storage and server equipment. The buying organisation is the British Film Institute, based in London. The supplied device was intended for the Institute’s use; no separate delivery location is stated. The requirement was arranged as a single lot and included an electronic auction as part of the procurement.

The Institute invited offers through an open, below-threshold competition. The tender reached the invitation-to-offer stage, but the procurement was subsequently cancelled because of issues with the e-auction and changes to the specification; the buyer said a new auction would be raised with a new specification. The submission deadline was 21 October 2026 at 12:00, and the enquiry deadline was 19 October 2026 at 12:00. The stated contract period ran from 23 to 30 October 2026. The estimated value was £70,000 excluding VAT (£84,000 including VAT). The single lot was to be evaluated on the basis of the most advantageous tender.

This requirement is most relevant to suppliers able to source and supply QNAP NAS equipment and provide a complete device populated with the required drives. Resellers or IT hardware providers with access to suitable storage products and the ability to meet a short delivery and supply period would be well placed to compete. The procurement was for a defined hardware purchase rather than a wider IT service or implementation project. The buyer’s cancellation reason points to e-auction and specification changes, and it stated that a new auction would be raised with a revised specification; suppliers should therefore assess the replacement requirement against its eventual technical details before deciding whether it matches their product range and fulfilment capability.
