PIN-2315 De Montfort University: External Audit Services Market Engagement

De Montfort University: External Audit Services Market EngagementThe University's current contract for External Audit services expires in March 2025 and we will shortly be looking to tender for a supplier to provide these services after this point.We are keen to engage with the current market to support this procurement, and issue this notice to invite interested potential suppliers to discussions with Audit and Finance colleagues at the University - be this by telephone, via Teams, or in person, in order to better learn and understand the dynamics of the current marketplace. This will also enable the opportunity for potential suppliers to ask us any questions or raise any issues directly with the University.We have produced a draft statement of requirement available on request, featuring information concerning the University’s anticipated requirement for services at this stage, and we would be interested to understand potential suppliers’ thoughts on this.Please note that this is NOT a call for competition at this stage; it is simply engagement with the market to help inform our future procurement approach.For more information (incuding our draft requirement) and to express interest, please email procurement@dmu.ac.uk, marked for the attention of ROSS COOK.Please respond by no later than MIDDAY (12:00hrs) on Friday 20th September 2024.
