The required service is expected to include:

coverage of UK GAAP, IFRS, international auditing standards, corporate reporting requirements and relevant sustainability reporting standards;
prompt updates reflecting changes to standards, legislation, regulation and guidance;
effective online research functionality, including search, filtering, linking and document access;
an organisation-wide licensing model that supports the required user population without avoidable access barriers;
secure online or SaaS delivery compatible with the NAO's technology environment;
implementation support, user guidance, training and ongoing customer support; and
clear information about any AI-enabled functionality, controls, limitations, data use, optionality and pricing.
The anticipated contract term is three years, with two optional one-year extensions. The estimated maximum value is £600,000 including VAT over the full potential five-year term. The final scope, commercial model, contract value and procurement documents will be informed by market engagement and the subsequent competitive procurement exercise. This notice does not constitute a call for competition or a commitment to procure.
