## Summary

The London Borough of Barnet is in the planning stage of a public procurement process titled "Provision of Audit, Assurance and Advisory Services (CCAS)" with an emphasis on business and management consultancy services. As of 19th June 2025, the borough has published a market engagement notice, scheduling an engagement event for 26th June 2025 to discuss the framework's objectives and scope. Interested suppliers must confirm participation by 25th June 2025. This service procurement is categorized under the "services" industry and is expected to have a framework agreement in place. Currently, it targets a broad range of public authorities within the UK, including several London boroughs, the Greater London Authority Group, and multiple local councils. Estimated contract values approach up to £120 million and will extend from 2026 to at least 2029, with possibilities for renewal reaching 2034.

This tender opens significant growth opportunities for businesses in the fields of audit, assurance, and consultancy services, especially local and national SMEs. The procurement encourages a diverse supplier base to ensure value, involving both single source and multi-source framework models. Eligible businesses that specialize in project management, business analysis, or financial management consultancy, among other related services, would be particularly well positioned to benefit. Engaging in this process could grant suppliers access to a wide array of public sector clients across London and potentially beyond, fostering long-term business expansion and a solid foothold in the governmental services market. The pre-market engagement allows suppliers to shape procurement design, which may further tailor the process to align with their business capabilities.
