## Summary

The procurement process led by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London is currently at the planning stage. The process is titled 'Quality Assurance Audit Programme with spot-purchase of learning, case reviews, inspection preparation work, IRO, CP Conference chair, and Family Group Conference coordination'. This initiative falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on auditing services, welfare services for children and young people, and social work and related services. The related procurement stage involves a market engagement notice, and interested parties are encouraged to complete a questionnaire by 5th June 2026. This project will serve the City of London Corporation's Department of Community and Children's Services, with a contract period potentially starting on 4th October 2026 and ending on 3rd October 2028, subject to renewal.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the auditing and welfare service sectors, particularly for SMEs and VCSEs, as it seeks to engage providers interested in contributing to the City's commitment to excellence in public services. Companies with expertise in quality assurance audits, particularly those experienced in working with public authority clients, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The focus on varied service delivery models highlights the City's openness to innovative approaches, making it an attractive opportunity for companies eager to expand their public sector project portfolios.

## Notice

As part of the City of London's commitment to delivering excellence in our public services, we commission a quality assurance audit service to deliver, on average, 24 audits per annum. This number may vary depending on the outcome of the audits, the workload of staff, and the complexity. We would like to gauge market interest in delivering this service for the City of London Corporation's Department of Community and Children's Services in the future. We would also like to learn more about what delivery models are most attractive to the provider market and use this feedback to shape the service moving forward.
