    Brief

    Aston University is conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise to gather supplier input for a future procurement of Independent Accountant's Reports (IARs) and Grant Assurance Services. The University seeks to understand market capabilities, service delivery models, pricing approaches, innovation opportunities, and procurement routes. The anticipated scope includes: Independent Accountant's Reports for Innovate UK funded projects; grant assurance and certification services for UKRI funded projects; assurance engagements for Horizon Europe and successor programmes; Agreed-Upon Procedures (AUP) engagements; grant assurance services for charitable, governmental and other research funders; and related advisory services. This is a market research exercise only, designed to inform the University's procurement strategy and tender documentation. Participation in this PME will not provide any competitive advantage or disadvantage in future procurement processes. Suppliers active in grant assurance, audit, and accountancy sectors are invited to share their expertise and feedback.
