## Summary

The Finance Provider and Dealership Audit Service Tender is currently being procured by Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), located in Manchester, UK. This procurement, classified under auditing services (CPV Code: 79212000), is in the active tender stage. The deadline for submitting tenders is set for 29th October 2021 at 13:00 (BST). Interested parties must utilise the ProContract e-tendering portal for submissions, as any submissions made outside of this platform will be disqualified. The total duration of the contract is expected to be 720 days, with the possibility of extensions.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses with expertise in the asset finance industry, particularly those offering auditing and monitoring services. Companies that focus on providing second-line assurance for financial support schemes will be well-suited to compete in this process. As TfGM seeks to establish robust oversight for their Financial Support Scheme, organisations capable of managing the distribution of funds through grants and preferential finance will find this contract advantageous for expanding their portfolio and enhancing operational capabilities.

## Notice

TfGM is looking to establish a contract for the appointment of an organisation with experience in the asset finance industry to provide an Auditing and Monitoring service to support the Financial Support Scheme (FSS). This service will be for the provision of auditing and monitoring services across the Financiers appointed to the Framework and also the Dealerships accredited to the Financial Support Scheme. It will support the operational management of the Financial Support Scheme through the provision of "second line" assurance over the distribution of funds through both grant monies and preferential finance.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Since 2010, the UK has been in breach of the legal limits of levels of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) in major urban areas. The 2008 Ambient Air Quality Directive (2008/50/EC) set legally binding limits for concentrations of major air pollutants that affect human health, including NO2 and particulates. The Air Quality Standards Regulations 2010 transposed the 2008 Directive into English law and requires the Secretary of State to draw up and implement a national air quality plan to achieve the relevant limit within the 'shortest possible time' One of the measures that has been put into place is the setting up of a Financial Support Scheme which has been created and will provide financial assistance for taxis and commercial vehicle's encompassing LGV's & HGV's which will be delivered through two procured mechanisms: * a Financial Support Scheme("FSS") providing a digital upfront platform for automated eligibility checking of both Applicants and vehicles and grant payments to Applicants who choose this funding option. This platform will also manage the network of dealerships who will be accredited to the Financial Support Scheme and the monitoring and draw down of funds. * a Vehicle Finance Framework of FCA accredited Financiers who will be able to offer preferential vehicle finance loans to Applicants due to the interest element being paid directly by TfGM to the Financier. These two services have been procured separately as integral elements delivering the overall customer journey requiring defined interfaces to manage the customer experience.
