Summary of the contracting process

Ordnance Survey Limited commissioned an annual financial audit for its 2024/2025 financial year. The work covers the parent and consolidated financial statements, including profit or loss and other comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows, changes in equity and related notes. It also includes the part of the directors’ remuneration report requiring audit. The service is classified as financial auditing. The buying organisation is Ordnance Survey Limited, a central government public authority based in Southampton, and the audit activity relates to the United Kingdom. This is a specialist statutory-style audit requirement rather than general accounting support, requiring review of both company and group reporting.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to the National Audit Office. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and comprised one lot. The contract was signed on 9 January 2024, with a period from 13 January 2025 to 12 January 2026. Its value was £145,000 excluding VAT (£174,000 including VAT). The contract was terminated on the recorded completion basis, with implementation ending on 12 January 2026 and a final value of £145,000 excluding VAT (£174,000 including VAT). The award remains recorded as active, while the contract outcome confirms that the contracted audit work reached completion.

This requirement indicates demand for a substantial annual financial audit covering both a public-sector company and its consolidated group accounts. A credible competitor would need qualified audit professionals, experience auditing complex financial statements and related notes, and the ability to examine profit and loss, financial position, cash flow and changes in equity reporting. Experience with directors’ remuneration reporting and audits conducted under the International Standards on Auditing (UK) would be directly relevant. Suppliers would also need sufficient capacity to deliver a complete annual audit for a central government public authority, manage parent and group reporting together, and provide assurance suitable for formal corporate and public-sector accountability.
