The procurement, classified under accounting, auditing, and fiscal services, is currently at the tender stage. The deadline for submissions is 17th December 2018, with the contract period expected to commence on 31st December 2018 and run until 30th November 2021. The total budget allocated for these audit services is £15,000, with delivery expected in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial auditing and accounting, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand their portfolios. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in compliance and financial management within collaborative projects, especially in cross-border initiatives funded by Interreg, will be well-positioned to compete. Businesses should take note of the requirements for ongoing progress reports and audits, making this a unique opportunity for firms with capabilities in managing public sector projects and ensuring fiscal accountability. ## Notice Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership are seeking to procure financial audit services (First Level Controller) in respect of their role in Interreg's COTEMACO Project. Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise partnership (GLLEP) are partners in Interreg's COTEMACO project, which aims to enhance innovation performance of enterprises throughout North West Europe. Beneficiaries participating in Territorial Co-operation Programmes such as the COTEMACO project are required to procure a 'first level controller' to verify the eligibility of the expenditure they have incurred in the project so that it can be reimbursed by the Programme authorities. Please see below link to the project's website for more information: http://www.nweurope.eu/projects/project-search/cotemaco-increased-nwe-competitiveness-through-efficient-man-machine-collaboration/ GLLEP is responsible for a total budget of EUR 89,224.46, and is required to submit progress reports on their part in the project every six months, up to the project end date of 6th November 2021.
