We are seeking an appropriately experienced and qualified consultancy to supply independent assurance of our annual sustainability data from 2023/24 onwards (reporting period 1 August - 31 July) undertaken against the ISAE3000 assurance standard. A private management report is needed as well as a public limited assurance opinion. The first year for which we require independent assurance is on 2023/24 data but to enable the process to be as smooth as possible we'd like you to start on the 2022/23 data and provide us with interim findings report to inform planning.
