Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of London Corporation has initiated an open procedure tender process for a "Childcare Sufficiency Assessment", categorised under statutory audit services (CPV code 79212300). The location for this procurement is London, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently at the Tender stage with the end date for the tender period being 16th August 2024 at 12:00 PM BST. The contract is set to commence on 1st October 2024 and will run until 30th September 2027, with a possible extension of up to one year at the City's discretion. The total estimated value of the contract is £30,000 GBP and is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in audit services, particularly those with experience in statutory audits. The ongoing requirement for six-monthly updates over the three-year contract period—potentially extendable to four years—offers a stable engagement for firms looking to expand their client base and establish a long-term relationship with a prominent municipal authority. Given the stringent service specifications and the potential for repeat business, both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) with relevant expertise and capacity are well-positioned to compete for this contract.
