## Summary

The procurement process involves the North Tyneside Council, which has awarded a contract for auditing services, specifically for the 2017-18 audit fees and Value for Money (VFM) Conclusion. The tender, classified under CPV code 79212000 for auditing services, was completed on 31 March 2017 and has an associated contract value of £137,765. The contract period is set to run from 1 April 2017 to 30 September 2018.

Companies adept at providing high-quality auditing and compliance services may find this to be a fruitful avenue for business growth. The successful supplier, Mazars LLP, a well-established firm, indicates that competitive and qualified entities within the auditing sector can benefit from similar procurement opportunities with other local authorities.
