Audit Services
Scope
This framework will provide audit and assurance services for UK central government departments (including ALBs) and all other public sector bodies across the Wider Public Sector.
This framework, in conjunction with RM6187 Management Consultancy Services, will replace both the RM3745 Management Consultancy Framework and RM6008 Management Consultancy Framework Two.
Supplier engagement
We held a supplier engagement session in January 2020, which was attended by 13 suppliers. The feedback received will help shape various aspects of the new framework including the lotting strategy and specification.
A copy of the presentation can be found below.
If you want to send us your feedback, please email info@crowncommercial.gov.uk by 31 May 2020, and include RM6188 in the subject title.
Customer engagement
We have also held a number of customer engagement sessions. These have predominantly been with central government departments on a 1-1 basis. Additionally, we held a wider customer event in Glasgow in January 2020. These engagements have been invaluable in helping to shape the strategy of the framework and to ensure it best meets the needs of our customers.
If you are a customer and are interested in being involved in the development of this new framework, please email info@crowncommercial.gov.uk by 31 May 2020, and include RM6188 in the email subject title.
