Section VI: Complementary information
VI.3) Additional information: Lot value is expressed as ‘audited body notional value’ (ABNV), comprising the published scale fees for 2021/22 for opted-in bodies plus actual and estimated recurring fee variations for 2019/20 audits. Bids were expressed as a fixed proportion of the relevant ABNV. At ITT stage Lot values were revised based on an estimated annual value of £35m (up from £33m) due to the number of opted-in bodies from 2023/24 and the level of additional fees incorporated. All values are estimated and may change. Bodies will be allocated to a Lot once the procurement is completed, subject to consultation with them and suppliers. Lot 7 was unawarded so we created sub-lots 7A-7D and ran a supplementary procurement. We achieved 99.5% capacity which is sufficient due to the impact of recent and scheduled LGR.
