This tender falls under the industry category of Business and Management Consultancy Services, and it is currently at the active Tender stage. The tender period is open until 8th October 2021, with an anticipated contract duration commencing on 1st December 2021 and extending until 30th November 2023. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, inviting competing bids from a range of suppliers. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the consultancy sector, especially those with expertise in due diligence and auditing services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, as there may be significant demand for project-based engagements over the contract period. Companies that can demonstrate their experience in providing due diligence services to educational institutions or similar organisations will be particularly well-suited for this tender, as the services will be called off as needed during the contract duration. ## Notice The University seeks proposals from suitably experienced and qualified suppliers for the provision of Due Diligence Services; primarily to be utilised when engaging new partners overseas. The University proposes to enter into contract with a single supplier for a maximum period of four years in total. The Contract will have an initial period of two years, with a potential extension period of a further two years based on continued satisfactory supplier performance, availability of funding and business need. The anticipated arrangement will involve engaging a supplier on contract, and "calling off" the services as they are required. For avoidance of doubt, there is not a consistent ongoing requirement, nor indeed any guarantee of any business at all under the contract.
