Summary of the contracting process

Caledonia Housing Association is currently in the procurement stage for a contract titled "Provision of External Audit Services," primarily concerning the housing and community amenities sector. The organisation, based in Perth, Scotland, seeks to appoint an experienced external auditor for an initial term of three years with a potential extension of two years, contingent on performance. The tender is being conducted through an open procedure, with electronic submissions accepted until 17th July 2025. The procurement process formally initiated on 16th June 2025, and the contract, valued at £300,000, covers services across Tayside, Fife, the Highlands, East and West Dunbartonshire, and North Lanarkshire, with the award period commencing on 18th July 2025.

This tender presents ample opportunities for businesses specialising in auditing services, especially those with expertise in statutory audits and advisory roles in accounting standards and legislative changes. Companies that are registered or statutory auditors under the Companies Act 2006 and meet the minimum turnover requirement of £120,000 are particularly well-positioned to bid. Engaging in this contract could significantly enhance a company's portfolio within the public sector, providing exposure and potential for future collaborations or renewals, given the contract's possible extension upon satisfactory performance. Businesses that focus on delivering community benefits will find this contract appealing, as such commitments are integrally evaluated within the quality assessment.
