APPOINTMENT OF A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE PROVISION OF EXTERNAL AUDIT SERVICES FOR A PERIOD OF THIRTY-SIX (36) MONTHS.

The Inkomati Catchment Management Agency has put out an open tender to appoint a service provider for external audit services, running for 36 months. That is essentially the whole of the published record: a title, a category of services, a stated procurement method and the name of the agency issuing it. Nothing on the page sets out the audit scope, the reporting framework to be applied, the deliverables, how fees will be structured, the qualifications the audit firm must hold, the documents a bid must contain, the evaluation criteria or the contract terms. A prospective bidder cannot assemble a response from this entry alone and would need to obtain the bid document from the agency. The notice does not say who may bid, what the audit covers, or what the successful firm will be required to produce.
