Summary of the contracting process

The National Audit Office (NAO), located at 157-197 Buckingham Palace Road, London, United Kingdom, has completed a public procurement process to award a contract for "CPT_26_02 - DfT Land and Property expert". This contract involves providing specialised financial auditing services as part of its scope. The industry category for this procurement is services, specifically falling under financial auditing. The procurement stage of this contract has moved to the Award phase as of 6th August 2026. The contract, with a period of up to two years starting from 20th April 2026, was initiated through a single tender action, indicating a direct procurement method employed below the competitive threshold.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses that possess expertise in providing independent expert advice and analysis, particularly those specialising in financial auditing services. While GRAHAM + SIBBALD Property Consulting Ltd, based in Glasgow, has been awarded the contract, similar opportunities may arise for businesses that can demonstrate specialised knowledge in financial and property consultancy. Enterprises offering analogous services could find promising prospects in collaborations with public authorities such as the NAO, especially if they can meet the specific needs of specialised government projects.
