ICO Annual Registration (2025 - 2030)

The National Audit Office (NAO) is required by law to register a Data Protection Officer with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). The annual renewal fee for this registration is £3,763.00, which has increased from the previous year and may continue to rise in the future. This business case outlines the contract that will cover this statutory requirement. Due to the nature of this requirement, the NAO is unable to obtain five quotes, as registration with the ICO is mandatory and limits the ability to seek alternative quotations. Payments for this registration must be made online, and the NAO does not receive a traditional invoice; instead, they receive an email detailing the annual cost and payment deadline.
