Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Golden Lane Housing Limited, a public authority in the sub-central government sector, based in Manchester, United Kingdom. The tender, titled "External Audit Services," falls under the services category, specifically accounting, auditing and fiscal services. The procurement method used was "direct," conducted without competition as it was below threshold. The completion of the contract award was finalised on 14 July 2026, with the contract in effect from 10 July 2026 to 30 September 2027. The procurement location is the UKD region of the United Kingdom, and the contract value is set at £53,000, excluding VAT.

This completed tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in auditing and fiscal services to explore similar opportunities for collaboration with public authorities like Golden Lane Housing Limited. While the procurement was awarded directly to Crowe U.K. LLP, a large-scale supplier based in London, small to medium-sized enterprises with expertise in auditing services can still consider positioning themselves as viable contenders for future contracts. Establishing a foothold in this sector through recognized public contracts can significantly contribute to business growth, visibility and prospects of securing long-term partnerships within the public sector.
