## Summary

The procurement process involves the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) seeking an independent review of its Board's effectiveness. This open tender, initiated on 15 January 2019, concluded with an active award on the same date. The contract, valued at £17,500, falls under the category of business analysis consultancy services and is being delivered in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The contract period runs from 15 January 2019 to 31 March 2019, and the tender was officially closed for submissions by 1 January 2019.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in management consultancy and business analysis services. Firms that can demonstrate expertise in providing external reviews, particularly those familiar with governance effectiveness and public sector consultancy, would be well-suited to engage in similar future opportunities. Additionally, businesses focusing on providing insights into board performance in accordance with established governance principles will find a conducive environment for growth in this space.

## Notice

The National Audit Office recommends that the Boards of government departments and public sector bodies undertake annual effectiveness surveys, and that every third year this should be an external review. Such a review will look at the Board's role in terms of leadership, effectiveness, accountability; its behaviours including adherence to the Nolan Principles and Civil Service code; its advice, strategic clarity, commercial sense and results focus; the effectiveness of its committees; and the quality of key working relationships.
