When this comes round again

Bedford College publishes Business Services work continuously — 5 notices, roughly one every 3 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

42% of Bedford College’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

Bedford College is undertaking a pre-market engagement (PME) exercise ahead of a planned procurement for the provision of internal audit services.

The purpose of this engagement is to inform potential providers of the College's requirements, gather market feedback on the proposed scope and approach, and help shape a procurement process that secures a high-quality and cost-effective service.

The anticipated scope includes the delivery of a risk-based internal audit service across the College and its subsidiaries, annual audit planning, reporting to the Audit Committee, and advisory support as required.

This engagement is for market consultation purposes only and is not an invitation to tender, request for quotation, or call for competition.

Participation in this engagement will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement process
