The National Archives' website address is www.nationalarchives.gov.uk ## Description The purpose of this procurement process is for The National Archives (TNA) to select a Supplier to maintain, and develop its Legislation Platform. The intention is to award the Contract for an initial period of 2 years, with options to extend for three further periods of up to twelve months each (2+1+1+1). The Invitation to Tender document gives an overview of the Platform requirements and should be read in conjunction with Annexes 1-7, which set out in more detail the various components of the legislation.gov.uk Platform. Annexes 1-7 are available on request. If you require access to them, please contact us at procurement@nationalarchives.gov.uk We estimate the maximum contract value over the whole contract term (i.e. 5 years) to be circa £10,200,000 (inc. VAT). The availability of freely accessible, up to date legislation in print and online underpins the rule of law in the UK. It is at the heart of the business of government, vital to our democratic society and drives economic activity. Most new legislation starts with a drafting team based in a government department. In the case of primary legislation, the legislative process involves a Bill (a proposed Act), initially drafted by the Government (or an individual MP in the case of Private Members Bills) which passes through various stages in the relevant Parliament, Assembly or Senedd, undergoing a range of amendments until the final version is agreed, passed, and receives Royal Assent. Secondary legislation is made under powers created under primary legislation, for example granting a particular Secretary of State the authority to create regulations in relation to a specific area of law. Secondary legislation mainly comes in the form of Statutory Instruments, and is mainly drafted by lawyers within Government departments. The National Archives, in its capacity as the King's Printer of Acts of Parliament, the King's Printer for Scotland, the King's Printer for Wales, and the Government Printer for Northern Ireland, has statutory obligations to register, publish, and make available in print, legislation produced by the UK and Scottish Parliaments, the Welsh Senedd, the Northern Ireland Assembly, and the Governments of the four nations. The legislation.gov.uk Platform enables The National Archives to deliver statutory and service responsibilities. The National Archives gives strategic leadership to the services, operates the governance framework and provides legislative, policy, publishing and editorial expertise. It also provides technical direction in relation to the architectural approach and standards to be adopted by the Platform Supplier. The legislation services to be provided by the Platform Supplier involve maintaining and developing the legislation.gov.uk Platform consisting of: • the legislation.gov.uk website (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/) which provides public access to legislation, both as originally enacted and in a revised form, and provides open data through an API for data ... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/legislation-platform-contract-ocds-h6vhtk-06e474) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** active - **CPV codes:** 72222300 - **Delivery regions:** UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, UKK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Estimated Value:** £8,500,000 - **Contract Period:** 31/07/2027 to 31/07/2029 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F077604-2026) - **Last Source Update:** 2026-08-14T10:27:14.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-27T06:31:05.486Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-06e474
