The Insolvency Service wishes to create a Framework Agreement for forensic accountants to provide services under the provisions of the Companies Act 1985 specifically s447. The Insolvency Service undertakes confidential enquiries into live companies under s447 of the Companies Act 1985.
This is a highly specialised role, involving a detailed knowledge of company and insolvency law and often a good knowledge of a particular industry or alternatively of what might constitute breach of a particular statue or requirement. It involves attending on a company's premises, seeking access to financial records, investigating the case with a view to identifying any matters which may cause concern, where necessary requiring information from third parties, preparing a report and, quite often but not always, drafting an affidavit for use in Court proceedings - and note that this evidence may require the individual to appear in Court on behalf of the SoS.

Section VI: Complementary information
All suppliers who wish to respond to this OJEU notice and indicate their interest in the tender, should request a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) document, which provides further detail relating to this procurement. The PQQ AND ALL communication should be via:
Managing Supplier Poor Performance cross-Government.Government has not always managed its strategic suppliers on a cross-Government basis as effectively as it might. This has resulted in suppliers continuing to win new work with Government even when there are substantial performance concerns with existing contracts.
As a result, Government has developed a new approach to ensuring previous poor performance by suppliers can be taken into account and robustly assessed prior to new contracts being entered into.
Contracting Authorities will now ensure that consideration of poor performance on existing or previous contracts is made at the Selection stage, in the assessment of technical and professional ability (Reg. 25). This will include where there are examples of serious and persistent breach in the delivery of both current and previous contracts.
Where a supplier has been found to have committed "Grave Misconduct" in the course of their business or profession, the Contracting Authority will have the right to exercise "Discretionary Exclusion" of that supplier under the Public Contracts Regulations 2006.
In addition, Contracting Authorities will reassess economic and financial standing, and technical and professional ability, and any discretionary or mandatory grounds for exclusion, before key points in the procurement process (i.e. short listing, preferred bidder status, award of contract etc). This will be done by
asking the bidder whether anything has changed since the original assessment; and by checking with other departments/contracting authorities.
