## Summary

The procurement process managed by De Montfort University involved an invitation to tender for Due Diligence Services in the sector of business and management consultancy services. Located in Leicester, the university sought proposals for a contract starting with an initial period of two years, extendable by another two years. The procurement category was services, using an open procedure governed by the GPA rules. The main objective was to establish a contractual arrangement whereby services would be called off as needed, without any consistent ongoing requirement or guaranteed business volume. The contract was awarded to GW Consulting International Limited on 17th May 2022, valued at £120,000. The initial tender phase was conducted in 2021 with the tender period ending on 8th October 2021.

This tender creates opportunities for growth for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with experience in due diligence. Companies that can adapt to an on-demand service model are well-suited, especially SMEs like GW Consulting International Limited, who successfully secured the contract. The open procurement process used ensures a fair chance for a diverse range of bidders, thus promoting fair competition. Winning such contracts can significantly enhance a firm's credibility and provide opportunities for long-term engagement with public sector bodies like universities.

## 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. All other information relating to Award Criteria, evaluation and the full specification etc. can be found within our ITT document for this procurement loaded on the In-Tend e tendering portal https://in-tendhost.co.uk/de
