Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham College has finalised the procurement process for its "External Audit Services" contract, aimed at enhancing its financial auditing requirements. This procurement process was conducted under an open, competitive flexible procedure, with bids evaluated across two stages. The contract, valued at £340,000, was awarded on 12th June 2025 to BISHOP FLEMING LLP. The awarded contract spans a three-year period starting from 24th June 2025, with an option for two additional 12-month extensions. The procurement covered various regions within the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK, with a main focus on services within the public authority sector.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the financial auditing services industry to enhance their portfolios by collaborating with a prominent educational institution like Nottingham College. With the potential for contract renewals, companies offering robust auditing services will benefit by engaging with this subsector of public authority. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and larger companies are both suitable to compete, particularly those adept in navigating competitive, flexible tender procedures and those with experience in delivering quality financial auditing services across diverse geographical regions in the UK.
