Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process is initiated by the In-tend Education Portal, seeking tenders for "The Provision of Safeguarding Audits" for a Trust comprising 15 secondary and 30 primary schools across the South East of England, from Essex to Hampshire. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, with submissions due by 19 November 2020. The contract value is estimated between £45,000 and £50,000 per audit per school, with a contract duration of two years, starting from 1 January 2021, and potentially extendable for another two years based on performance. The procurement method is an open procedure for recurrent audits, falling within the services category of auditing services (CPV code 79212000).

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in auditing services, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive safeguarding audits for multiple schools. Companies that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to participate. The contract's structure, preferring a single service provider capable of handling all the Trust's requirements, allows for a consolidated approach and potentially stable revenue over the contract period, making it an appealing prospect for qualified bidders.
