## Summary

SSO Logistics Ltd is seeking a consultant to assist with obtaining FORS Bronze accreditation through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) process. This procurement is classified under transport systems consultancy services and is based in St Helens, located in North West England. The RFQ was published on 11th May 2017, with a submission deadline for proposals set for 31st May 2017 at 5:00 PM. The budget for this project ranges from £2,500 to £24,999, and it is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund, thereby not requiring a formal tender process but rather detailed written quotations.

This opportunity is likely to benefit consultancy firms specialising in transport logistics and compliance, particularly those familiar with FORS accreditation processes. As SSO Logistics aims to commence the project immediately and complete it by the pre-certification audit in August 2017, businesses with the capability to review management systems, conduct internal audits, and implement accreditation procedures should consider submitting a proposal. The evaluation will heavily weigh cost and understanding of the industry, making this a viable opportunity for SMEs with relevant expertise in transport consultancy.
