UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bromford Flagship LiveWest Limited, a sub-central government public authority in the UK, is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "External Quality Assessment (EQA) Services". The primary focus is on the housing sector within the UKK13 region. They aim to conduct an external evaluation of their co-source internal audit services established three years ago, with a report expected in Autumn 2026. The procurement process is planned to open in August 2026, with expressions of interest accepted until 17th February 2026. The contract is projected to last from 1st August to 31st October 2026. The procurement falls under the services category, with a total estimated value of £19,200.00, and involves a detailed set of requirements for prospective tenderers.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly SMEs, that specialise in internal audit services and possess expertise within the housing sector. Suitable candidates must demonstrate independence from previous audit engagements with Bromford, Flagship, or LiveWest, have relevant sector experience, and a team led by a Certified Internal Auditor. Registering on the Delta eTendering portal is crucial for expressing interest. The opportunity allows businesses to not only grow through a substantial, though short-term, contract but also to enhance their reputation and engage with a prominent public authority. This setting suits businesses capable of delivering a comprehensive and independent quality assessment, ultimately facilitating organisational improvement for Bromford Flagship LiveWest.
