## Description
As the UK's independent regulator of elections, political neutrality is central to the Electoral Commission's work. We therefore place strict requirements on organisations bidding for contracts to ensure they, and the voter engagement projects they deliver on our behalf, are truly impartial. 
The Electoral Commission is seeking to identify and understand the capabilities of potential suppliers of a third party due diligence service to support its assessment of organisations bidding for funding to deliver voter engagement projects. The service would use open-source intelligence (OSINT) to identify and categorise potential reputational risks associated with those organisations and their senior leaders.
 At this EOI stage, suppliers do not need to provide any further information or evidence demonstrating their capability or capacity beyond their responses to the questions attached. Any requirements for such information or evidence will be set out in the Invitation to Tender.
