This procurement process falls under the industry category of public authority - sub-central government. The contract covers the audit of Pool Reinsurance’s Group financial statements, with the tender being executed through a direct award due to the National Audit Office's exclusive rights for such audits. The contract period commences on 13th February 2026 and is expected to conclude on 10th December 2026. The award notice was published on 29th January 2026, indicating a standstill period ending on 9th February 2026, and the total contract value is £325,000.
