Notice Description

THIS HAS BEEN WITHDRAWN / WILL NOT PROGRESS. The UK Accounting Standards Endorsement Board (UKEB) influences, endorses and adopts new or amended international accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board for use by UK companies. The UKEB consults publicly with stakeholders that have an interest in financial reporting in the UK so that it can develop and represent evidence-based UK views with the aim of acting as the UK voice on IFRS financial reporting. The UK Financial Reporting Council (FRC) has oversight responsibility in respect of the UKEB's adherence to robust governance and due process. It also provides operational support to UKEB. The FRC does not have the power to direct the UKEB in relation to the determination of its programme of work or the outcome of its technical decision-making. The FRC is undertaking this procurement on behalf of the UKEB, as part of the operational support services it provides to UKEB. The supplier contract will be with FRC but the service requirements will be directed by UKEB and provided to UKEB. UKEB is seeking to procure professional minute-taking services. The Services are primarily required for the range of Advisory Groups and Working Groups that UKEB has set up as a key part of its stakeholder engagement strategy. There may, however, also be other meetings for which UKEB could request minute-taking services on an ad-hoc basis. This procurement seeks to procure a provider to deliver Professional minute-taking services at a range of UKEB advisory and working group meetings. These meetings occur in London, during office hours and with a duration of between 3 and 6 hours. The minute-taker is not required to attend the meetings in-person. The standard procedure will be that the minute-taker attend the meetings virtually via Microsoft Teams or any other online platform that UKEB may utilise from time to time.
