This procurement opportunity, initiated by Manor Estates Housing Association Limited, seeks to acquire "External Audit and Taxation Services" and falls within the services category. The tender process is in the 'Tender' stage and is actively seeking submissions. It is a joint invitation with Lister Housing Co-operative Ltd, although each organisation retains its independent decision-making. The procurement, classified under the COFOG category "Housing and community amenities," and CPV code 79212000, is conducted through a restricted procedure. The services are to be delivered in Edinburgh, with a contract value estimated at £45,000. Key deadlines include a tender submission closing on 1st October 2025, followed by an invitation date for the second stage on 3rd October 2025.

This tender presents a noteworthy opportunity for businesses specialising in audit and taxation services to offer their expertise, especially firms experienced in serving housing associations or similar entities. Such businesses can benefit from the project's potential renewal extensions, initially set for five years with possible extensions, leading to sustained revenue and partnership with reputable organisations. Additionally, the emphasis on both quality and price criteria offers a balanced field for SMEs and larger firms to present competitive bids grounded in service excellence and value. The inclusion of community benefits in the requirement further encourages companies to contribute positively to local societal goals, aligning business operations with broader social value objectives.
