Summary of the contracting process

Canterbury City Council has completed a procurement process for "Compliance Consultancy & Auditing Services," with the award dated 7th November 2025. The process falls under the services category, specifically statutory audit services. The project is located in the UKJ4 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was a direct approach, below threshold, and without competition, which indicates a simplified process due to the lower value. The contract began on 4th August 2025 and will run until 3rd August 2027, with potential for renewal at the discretion of the Council based on performance. The total contract value is GBP 30,750, with a gross amount of GBP 36,900.

This tender offers growth opportunities for firms specialising in compliance and auditing services. Given the direct award and below threshold nature, it is particularly advantageous for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are agile and capable of delivering bespoke auditing services. The awarded contract to GAS Advisory Services Limited, an SME, underscores the potential for similar-sized businesses to secure such contracts with local government entities. Companies that can provide comprehensive compliance consultancy and have expertise in statutory audits will find opportunities in this sector. The sustainable performance of the contract might lead to renewals, offering longer-term engagements for competent suppliers.
