## Summary

The National Audit Office, located in London, has awarded a contract titled "Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science 2019-21 BDO" for financial auditing services valued at £108,000. The procurement process was conducted through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period spans from 1st September 2019 until 31st August 2021, following the tender period that concluded on 1st August 2019. This award is part of the contract initiation focused on completing a fully ISA compliant audit, including delivering a shadow audit opinion for the 2019-20 and 2020-21 financial statements, with several key milestones outlined throughout the project timeline.

This opportunity may be particularly advantageous for accounting firms and audit service providers that specialise in large-scale financial auditing and compliance reviews. Firms that can demonstrate experience in conducting regularity audits and can meet the rigorous deadlines set forth by the National Audit Office will be well-placed to compete for similar contracts in the future. The emphasis on timely delivery of audits and audit reports also presents a potential growth avenue for businesses that are adept at managing multiple audit engagements concurrently.
