Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for "External Audit Services" was conducted by Cathcart & District Housing Association Ltd, situated in Glasgow. This procurement falls under the ‘Housing and community amenities’ industry category and covers services required in the UKM82 region. Initiated as a tender on 15th April 2026, the subsequent award was completed by 7th July 2026, marking the concluding stage of the procurement process. Employing a selective procurement method, the process followed a restricted procedure. The contract, valued at £10,000 GBP, was signed on 8th June 2026, with Findlays appointed as the supplier. The evaluation involved a 60% quality and 40% price weighted assessment. The tender submission deadline was set for 11th May 2026.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in audit services, particularly those familiar with the regulatory requirements of the Scottish Housing Regulator and the Financial Conduct Authority. As the contract requires comprehensive audit services, including financial statement audits and corporation tax return handling, well-established auditing entities with expertise in compliance with UK Auditing Standards would be well-suited for competition. The requirement for attendance at various committee meetings to present audit findings additionally denotes an opportunity for firms to establish long-term relationships with the Housing Association, potentially leading to extension of the contract or future engagements.
