The university is seeking an appropriately experienced and qualified consultancy to supply independent assurance of its 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 the university requires independent assurance is on 2023/24 data. To enable the process to be as smooth as possible, the university wants the supplier to start on the 2022/23 data and provide an interim findings report to inform planning.
Start date for the contract is 16 October 2023 with an end date of 16 October 2026 – further extension options are available.
Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate is 11 September 2023 – click here to access the tender documentation.
