What is being bought

The National Audit Office (NAO) currently has a contract with Ideagen Plc to use Pentana Audit MK 12.0, an audit management and documentation solution, that expires in March 2023. The system is still required so that auditors can continue to use it for a further 3 years until NAO's new Audit Management System is ready to be used for all its mainstream regulated audits. Retaining Pentana Audit MK 12.0 will ensure there is no disruption to NAO audits, and we continue to have access to support and maintenance from the supplier and developer, Ideagen Plc while NAO have "live" audits pending the transition to our new developer and provider of a new audit management system through to the end of 2025/26.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 72. The category anchor is IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support (72000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 7210,5392 median · 15.4 average (4,162 of 10,539 with a bid count)2 average (5,054 of 10,539 with named award suppliers)Not published

Delivery region: UK3,3252 median · 33.9 average (1,171 of 3,325 with a bid count)2.8 average (1,501 of 3,325 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
