UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Two Rivers Housing is seeking external audit and related services for the organisation and its subsidiaries. The auditor will independently assess financial information and records, report on the financial statements, and examine underlying records and control systems as needed to form an opinion. The work is intended to give assurance to funders, tenants and customers, and to support accurate statements that comply with applicable laws and regulations. This is a financial auditing service. Delivery is across the West of England and the West Midlands, including Gloucestershire, where Two Rivers Housing is based.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement is for one lot. Enquiries were due by 23 October 2026 at 16:00 UK time and bids by 30 October 2026 at 16:00 UK time. The buyer’s stated award decision date is 10 December 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with two possible one-year extensions, subject to satisfactory performance, giving a maximum end date of 31 March 2032. The estimated value is £300,000 including VAT. Evaluation places 60% on quality, including social value, and 40% on price. Economic and technical selection criteria apply; the detailed criteria are set out in the procurement documents.

This suits audit firms able to deliver independent statutory and financial audit work for a housing provider and its subsidiaries. Suppliers will need the technical capability to examine financial statements, accounting records and control systems, then provide a defensible audit opinion and assurance to funders, tenants and customers. Experience working with complex organisational accounts and compliance with relevant laws and regulations is directly relevant. The quality-led evaluation, which includes social value, means bidders should be able to demonstrate the strength of their audit approach as well as competitive pricing and relevant social-value commitments. The single contract has a multi-year core term and potential extensions, so firms should be able to sustain delivery over several years. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises are considered suitable.
