## Summary

The New College Durham is currently seeking bidders for an external governance review titled "External Governance Review - NCD137 - DN593693," which falls under the government services category. The tender process is at the active stage and is set to close on 14th February 2022. The total budget allocated for this contract is £15,000, and the prospective contract is expected to commence on 1st March 2022, concluding on 30th June 2022. Bidders are required to deliver services to locations across England, facilitating a thorough evaluation of governance effectiveness based on recent regulatory changes.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in governance effectiveness, consultancy services, and auditing. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, given the focus on innovative and effective governance solutions. Participating in this procurement could not only enhance a company's portfolio but also potentially lead to long-term partnerships within the educational sector, thereby fostering business growth.

## Notice

Over the last 18 months the College has seen a series of changes which have impacted the College's governance arrangements and alongside the recently published DfE interim guidance on strengthening governance, the Corporation has agreed to commission an external review of governance effectiveness. Undertaking a review in the Spring Term of 2022 that reports in early Summer 2022 would enable any recommendations to be considered and changes implemented in time for the 2022/23 academic year. Bidders should note that the focus of this review is governance effectiveness. A separate review of governance compliance is being undertaken by the College's Internal Audit Service and therefore compliance matters are outside the scope of this review. The outcome of the internal audit review will be shared with the successful bidder.
