The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 26th September 2017. The successful contract period began on 1st October 2017 and will last until 1st October 2021, focusing on providing financial auditing services in the North East region of the United Kingdom. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial auditing services, especially those with experience in grant audits for the listed funding streams. Suitable candidates would typically be small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with a strong background in compliance with statutory and contractual audit requirements. Companies able to demonstrate quick turnaround times for audits and familiarity with predefined reporting templates are particularly encouraged to apply, as CPI requires responsiveness and reliability in their service delivery. ## Notice The CPI Group (CPI) requires a supplier to undertake financial grant 'desk-top' audits in line with any statutory or contractual requirement on the following types of grant claims: * Innovate UK (e.g. Competitive R&D projects) * Catapult funding also from Innovate UK but via the High Value Manufacturing Catapult * Horizon 2020 * Regional Growth Fund * Local Growth Fund * Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Investment (AMSCI) * European Social Fund (ESF) * European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) * Any other grant claim audits as directed by CPI (e.g. BEIS) Due to the complexity of these programmes it is essential that bidders have experience of providing grant audit services for at least three (3) of the programmes listed above and a good understanding of the other funding streams and their requirements. The successful bidder will be expected to comply with the contractual requirements of the specific funding body and this may include the use of predefined template letters, reports etc. Failure to abide by the funding body's contractual requirements or any statutory requirements may result in the termination of this contract. CPI requires a supplier who is able to undertake and turn around these audits in a prompt manner and sometimes at short notice. CPI will however endeavour to provide as much notice as possible and agree in advance with the successful bidder a timetable for expected audits. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/71d64baf-bac2-4335-9c41-bf2e51e78f0c | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Feb 2019 | | Submission deadline | 26 Sep 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 19 Oct 2017 | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2017 - 1 Oct 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £164,175 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £164,175 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CENTRE FOR PROCESS INNOVATION | | Locality | REDCAR | | Post town | Cleveland | | Postcode | TS10 4RF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC3 Tees Valley | | ITL 3 | TLC32 South Teesside | | Local authority | Redcar and Cleveland | | Electoral ward | Dormanstown | | Westminster constituency | Redcar | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BALDWINS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79212100 - Financial auditing services ## Release History - 4 Feb 2019 at 12:22 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/71d64baf-bac2-4335-9c41-bf2e51e78f0c - 21 Sep 2017 at 14:14 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0422c57a-c350-45eb-9a60-1ded4054e2ec - 7 Sep 2017 at 16:02 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0422c57a-c350-45eb-9a60-1ded4054e2ec ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/71d64baf-bac2-4335-9c41-bf2e51e78f0c 4th February 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0422c57a-c350-45eb-9a60-1ded4054e2ec 21st September 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=7564a759-e593-e711-80e4-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.uk-cpi.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
