Description

The Department for Transport (DfT), acting on behalf of the UK Government, is seeking to appoint external Aviation Safety Auditors to conduct Aviation Safety Audits of the UK Crown Dependencies and Gibraltar's regulatory authorities compliance against international safety standards. The DfT will award one contract to one Supplier (or Consortium or as a Sub-Contracting arrangement of Suppliers) to undertake the Aviation Safety Audits for all applicable Technical Areas in all four CD locations.

The DfT have taken on board comments from prospective suppliers after the last procurement round and have made the following changes:
-The budget for this Audit is now set at £400,000. This is an increase from the previous procurement round budget of £104,900.
-Suppliers can submit their cost breakdown per project component, in the hope that this flexibility in the usage of funds is welcomed.
-We have dropped the pass/fail requirements for ICAO Accreditation Certification. This will now form the desirable criteria as defined in the specification, with essential criteria for assessment being a suppliers evidence of suitability and experience, as defined in the specification.

The DfT will award one contract to one Supplier (or Consortium or as a Sub-Contracting arrangement of Suppliers) to undertake the Aviation Safety Audits for all Technical Areas in all four CD locations.
