## Summary

The Hull City Council has completed the procurement process for an Open Book Assessment on Kingstown Works Limited (KWL) in the accounting, auditing, and fiscal services category. The tender, with a direct award procurement method, had its tender period end on 21st March 2023, and the contract period runs from 22nd March 2023 to 23rd March 2023. The contract, valued at £160,000 GBP, was awarded to The Orange Partnership Limited. The assessment work is expected to be carried out annually with a deadline in September each year.

This tender presents an opportunity for consulting companies specialising in accounting and auditing services to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are suitable for this contract. The completion of the Open Book Assessment will allow businesses to gain insights into the financial performance of Kingstown Works Limited, potentially leading to further business collaborations and partnerships. Interested parties should review the key requirements and deadlines to prepare competitive bids for future assessment cycles.

## Notice

The Council entered into a new contract with its wholly owned organisation KWL; moving from a bespoke contract with a Hull set of schedule of rates, to a Term Alliance Contract (TAC-1). Other areas of work are delivered via the M3 National Housing Federation rates (M3NHF). The contract is underpinned by the requirement of a comprehensive annual Open Book Assessment (OBA) of the previous financial year in September of each year and HCC are now seeking to appoint a consultant/company to carry out this work as an independent third-party assessor
