Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Runnymede Borough Council procured compliance auditing and quality assurance consultancy services. The work falls within auditing services and is intended to provide the council with compliance audits and quality assurance support. Delivery is associated with Addlestone, Surrey; the listed delivery locations also extend to the United Kingdom and other international locations. This is a professional services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to GCS Compliance Ltd. The council recorded the award on 14 October 2026. The contract is due to run from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2028, with an awarded value of £300,000. The procurement used a procedure described as “Other”; no further method detail is recorded. The submission deadline was 17 September 2026. The requirement was procured as a single service, with no lot breakdown recorded. The published information does not state evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award demonstrates demand from Runnymede Borough Council for specialist compliance auditing and quality assurance consultancy, at a scale suited to a substantial professional-services engagement rather than a small, one-off audit. GCS Compliance Ltd was selected, so a credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show that it can deliver both compliance auditing and quality assurance support for a local authority. Relevant audit expertise and the capacity to sustain consultancy services across a multi-year contract would be commercially pertinent. The council’s stated SME suitability is negative, which suggests smaller businesses should assess whether they can demonstrate sufficient organisational capacity for a requirement of this scale. The procurement provides no stated accreditation or technical qualification threshold to use as a benchmark.
