Requirements of the procurement will include the following: - A review of a sample of board and committee papers to assess quality and whether appropriate weighting and priority is allotted. - A review of outcomes from previous Board Effectiveness Reviews (including those conducted internally). - Attendance of at least one board meeting, one board audit committee meeting and on-board risk committee meeting as an observer. - Interviews with all board members (including non-executive directors), and an individual from each of UK Government Investments (UKGI), HM Treasury (HMT) and the Department for International Trade (DIT), (as well as other stakeholders as deemed relevant by the reviewer and the Chair), informed by an initial questionnaire which is to be agreed with the Chair and UKGI. - A written report on findings and recommendations no later than 6 weeks from the board meeting and committee meetings the successful Contractor attends. - An initial draft of the report must be completed no later than 4 weeks from the board meeting and committee meetings the successfully Contractor attends.
