UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Yeovil College procured external audit services, including statutory audit work. The service is for the college and is delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a professional auditing requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Yeovil College used a below-threshold limited competition. Mazars LLP was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026, with a base period from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029 and provision for two 12-month extensions, potentially extending the term to 31 December 2031. The contract value is £98,145 excluding VAT (£117,774 including VAT).

This award shows demand from Yeovil College for external and statutory audit expertise. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate the technical capability and professional experience to audit a further education college and deliver statutory audit services. The successful supplier was a large accountancy firm, indicating that established audit capacity and the ability to undertake the college’s external audit requirement were relevant. The procurement was run as a limited competition below the applicable threshold, so familiarity with competing through a restricted supplier selection route would also be useful when this specific requirement next comes to market.
