UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lee Valley Regional Park Authority commissioned an external audit of its 2023/24 accounts. The requirement covers professional accounting, auditing and fiscal services, with the work supporting the independent review of the Authority’s annual financial accounts. It is a services procurement for one requirement, undertaken for the Authority in the Lee Valley area of England. The buying organisation is Lee Valley Regional Park Authority, based at Myddelton House in Enfield. The relevant service classification is accounting, auditing and fiscal services (CPV 79200000). This is therefore relevant to audit practices and professional services firms able to undertake external audits for public-sector bodies, rather than suppliers providing general bookkeeping, routine accountancy or unrelated park operations.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It contained one lot. Ernst & Young LLP was selected as the supplier, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 1 April 2024 and covers the period from 1 September 2024 to 28 February 2025. Its value is £26,756 excluding VAT, or £32,107.20 including VAT. The published outcome identifies the requirement as an accounting and auditing services contract for the Authority’s 2023/24 accounts. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, so the route to market involved a restricted field of invited or selected suppliers. No separate evaluation weighting is stated in the procurement data.

This outcome indicates demand from Lee Valley Regional Park Authority for a specialist external audit of public-sector accounts. Competitors considering similar work for this buyer would need a robust external-audit service, qualified audit professionals and the technical ability to examine annual accounts and report their findings to a public authority. Experience with local-government, regional-park or other sub-central public bodies would help demonstrate familiarity with public-sector financial reporting, governance and accountability requirements. Firms would also need sufficient capacity to plan and complete an audit within a defined reporting cycle, with appropriate quality controls and secure handling of financial information. The limited-competition route means credible suppliers should be prepared to establish their suitability and capability before being invited to compete.
