We are calling for volunteers from public sector organisations to support the evaluation of the new Audit and Assurance Services Two (A&AS2) agreement. This agreement will replace Audit and Assurance Services.
Evaluators are an important part of the procurement process, in addition to playing an important role within CCS, becoming an evaluator counts towards your corporate contribution. This is encouraged in departments across the Civil Service.
Evaluation of this procurement will consist of an independent evaluation followed by consensus meetings.
The procurement timescales are currently:
- FTS release: 28 January 2025
- evaluation period: 21 March 2025 to 1 May 2025
- consensus: 6 May to 6 June 2025
- award: July 2025
Volunteers will also be required to attend a short training call before being an evaluator (2 hours maximum) and be provided with the required tools and information.
Evaluators need to have commercial experience, sector experience and/or knowledge of the audit and assurance category. A competency form will be provided for completion in addition to a conflict of interest declaration.
If you are interested in acting as an evaluator or would like any further information, please contact peoplepillarcomms@crowncommercial.gov.uk.
