Oldham Green New Deal Independent Assurance Provider

The Council is conducting market engagement to help shape its requirements for an Independent Assurance Provider (IAP), and its integration or linkages with the Oldham Green New Deal Delivery Partner in sufficient depth to take us to the early stages of procurement. The IAP's role will be first to support the Council in designing the contractual structure of the partnership and procuring the partners, and then to provide ongoing governance, assurance and programme management for the partnership as it delivers. Information about Lots: No. The Council's plan to appoint a single provider of the nature described in the market engagement documents is based on its current understanding that any resultant contract would not lend itself to lotting: The Council foresees a single point of contact with accountability for the oversight and management of the partner being the best solution, and that there would be operational viability issues in having multiple assurance providers of the same nature.
