UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Tai Tarian Ltd is procuring external audit services for its organisation. The requirement covers accounting and auditing work, including statutory audit services. Delivery is across Neath Port Talbot, Swansea and Bridgend in Wales. The appointed provider will support Tai Tarian with external audit activities under a public-sector contract. This is a single requirement rather than a multi-service procurement, so it is most relevant to accountancy practices, audit firms and specialist assurance providers whose core work includes statutory or external audits for organisations of comparable public or regulated-sector complexity. The buying organisation is Tai Tarian Ltd, based in Neath.

The process has reached tender: Tai Tarian invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Bids may be submitted electronically. The enquiry deadline was 14 September 2026 at 17:00, and the tender submission deadline was 22 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 January 2027 to 1 January 2030. Its estimated value is £90,000 excluding VAT, or £108,000 including VAT. Price carries 35% of the evaluation weighting and quality carries 65%. Tenderers must achieve at least 50% of the available weighted quality marks; submissions scoring below that threshold will not be considered for award. The opportunity is one lot.

This opportunity suits audit and accountancy firms with established external and statutory audit capability, particularly providers able to deliver quality-led assurance services across Tai Tarian’s operating area. The evaluation places greater emphasis on quality than price, so firms should be able to demonstrate a robust service approach, suitably qualified audit personnel, effective controls and the capacity to maintain consistent delivery throughout the three-year contract. Providers must be able to prepare a compelling quality response that reaches the minimum quality threshold as well as offering a competitive price. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, widening its relevance beyond large national audit practices.
