UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Be One Homes, a sub-central government public authority based in Bolton, United Kingdom, is currently in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Pre Market Engagement for Internal Audit Services". This tender is categorized under the services industry, specifically focusing on internal audit services (CPV 79212200). The procurement process aims to gather market interest and insights through a questionnaire available on the Chest Portal, with responses due by 27th July 2026. This pre-market engagement phase is crucial for setting the foundation for the potential tender process slated to begin on 3rd August 2026, with the service contract expected to commence on 1st April 2027 and lasting until 31st March 2030, with potential extension until 2032.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in internal audit services, providing a potential contract valued up to £552,000. Engaging with Be One Homes at this preliminary stage could position service providers favourably for the full procurement process. Companies with robust experience in delivering comprehensive audit solutions to public sector authorities, and those that can ensure operational assurance to board and audit committees, would be well-suited to compete. Participating in the market engagement exercise allows businesses to influence the final procurement specifications, thereby maximizing their chances of success in the subsequent tendering phases.
