Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City College Plymouth is currently in the award stage of the procurement process for an external audit service. The tender, titled "External Audit", was published on 16th December 2020, with a total contract value of £30,000 (GBP). The service will cover the College and its consolidated group, and the contract period is set from 1st May 2021 to 30th April 2026. Interested suppliers could submit proposals by 15th January 2021. This procurement falls under the category of accounting, auditing, and fiscal services, employing an open procurement method under the threshold.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in audit and financial services to engage with a prominent educational institution. Companies that offer external auditing services, particularly those with experience working with educational entities or public sector organisations, would be well-suited to compete. Given the contract's duration and the potential for additional services beyond the core audit, this could lead to ongoing business relationships and growth within the sector.
