Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council has completed the procurement process for an ISO 9001 & 55001 Audit & Certification service, aimed at auditing their highways assets. The procurement falls under the industry category of internal audit services, primarily at the Council headquarters in Leicester. The tender process was conducted through an open competition and concluded with the award stage on 16th June 2025. The contract with BSI ASSURANCE UK LIMITED, a large-scale supplier, commenced on 1st August 2025, running until 31st July 2027, with an option for a 36-month extension. The procurement process adhered to UK legislative standards and facilitated an open method for submission, targeting services beneath the threshold level, with a gross contract value of £108,000.

This contract offers significant potential for business growth, particularly for companies specialised in quality and asset management audits related to highways. Organisations holding the appropriate UKAS or equivalent accreditation could benefit from similar opportunities, especially those equipped to conduct comprehensive external audits as specified by the standards ISO 9001 and 55001. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), may find future tenders accessible, as the process encourages open competition. The focus on quality management and asset management in public infrastructure opens further avenues for businesses to extend their influence in the public sector auditing market.
