Summary of the contracting process

The Communities and Housing Investment Consortium Limited (CHIC) is conducting the CHIC Compliance Audit Services Framework 2021 procurement process, which is currently in the active stage. This open procedure focuses on auditing services within the UK and includes a total contract value of £150 million. The tender's deadline for submissions has already passed, concluding on 31 August 2021, after which bids were opened on the same date. The contract is intended to assess compliance across various domains, including health and safety, specifically for clients involved with Registered Social Landlords.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in auditing, especially those skilled in health and safety management, environmental compliance, and regulatory standards. Businesses that are qualified to carry out safety inspections, Gas Safety checks, and compliance audits, particularly in areas such as asbestos, electrical, and fire safety, would be well-suited to compete in this framework, potentially leading to sustained growth through multiple contracts awarded under different lots.
