Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process initiated by The Boleyn Trust in London sought to acquire services related to the "Provision of MAT Financial Management and Internal Audit Services". The procurement, categorised under business services, aimed at operating primarily within the United Kingdom. Initially planned as an open procedure tender, it underwent various stages including a tender period ending on 18 September 2025 and was projected to conclude with contracts being awarded by 6 October 2025. However, the original procurement process was terminated on 6 October 2025, due to an internal review by the contracting authority citing a need to revisit the requirements to align better with current strategies.

This tender represented a significant opportunity for businesses involved in financial management and audit services, particularly those familiar with the regulatory environment of multi-academy trusts. With a gross contract value of £1.5 million over three years, extendable to five years, it was an attractive proposition for SMEs capable of delivering consistent and expert services. Future opportunities may arise following revisions to the tender specifications, providing potential for businesses prepared with a strong understanding of the sector requirements and the ability to submit competitive proposals. Businesses are encouraged to monitor updates for a realigned tender opportunity that could be initiated by The Boleyn Trust following its internal review.

Following an internal review, the Contracting Authority has determined that the requirements and specification need to be revised to ensure alignment with current operational and strategic objectives, as it is not now confident that the procurement process was structured to present the Most Advantageous Tender. As a result, it is no longer appropriate to proceed with the existing procurement process. The Contracting Authority has therefore decided to abandon this procurement in accordance with Section 53 of the Procurement Act 2023. The Contracting Authority intends to review its requirements and procurement documentation before determining whether to initiate a new procurement process for the same or a revised requirement. Suppliers are advised to monitor the Central Digital Platform for any future opportunities.",
