The review concerns personal data processed in delivering the council’s services, including information about residents, service users, councillors, staff, volunteers, contractors and members of the public who contact it. The council employs 29 staff and serves a wide range of community needs through activities including events, grants, allotments, marina berthing, community support and youth services. The buyer is Ryde Town Council, based in Ryde on the Isle of Wight, and the work is for the council’s operations there. This is a professional data protection audit and advisory services requirement. The council invited quotations from suitably qualified organisations through a competitive quotation process below the procurement threshold. The process reached the tender stage, with the buyer inviting offers. The submission deadline was 26 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The intended contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 28 February 2027. The procurement is for services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate lots are identified. The stated purpose is to assess legal compliance and recommend improvements; the supplied procurement details do not set out a scoring formula or weighted evaluation criteria. The published procurement method is a limited competitive quotation rather than an unrestricted open competition. This opportunity suits consultancies and specialist practitioners able to conduct independent reviews of an organisation’s data protection compliance and turn findings into practical recommendations. Relevant experience should include assessing how personal information is handled across varied public-facing services and across different groups of data subjects, including employees, councillors, volunteers, contractors and residents. Suppliers should be able to work with a town council delivering community, youth, events, grants, allotment and marina services, and to communicate improvement actions clearly to the organisation. The council expressly considers the work suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The requirement calls for a suitably qualified organisation, but the supplied details do not identify particular qualifications, certifications or minimum staffing levels. ## Notice Ryde Town Council invites quotations from suitably qualified organisations to carry out an independent audit of its compliance with data protection law, and to recommend the improvements needed.
