## Summary

The National Audit Office is conducting a tender for the "Financial Audit Frameworks 2019 Bundle 2 North of England," classified under financial auditing services. The tender process has reached the award stage, with the contract valued at £754,338. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period runs from 30th September 2019 to 29th September 2021, and the tender submission deadline was 28th August 2019. This is notable for businesses located in the North of England, particularly in London, where the National Audit Office is based.

This contract presents significant opportunities for auditing firms that can deliver comprehensive financial audit services, including planning reports, ISA compliant audits, and management letters. Businesses with expertise in public sector audits, particularly those familiar with the National Audit Office's standards, would be well-suited to compete for future contracts in this category. Given that larger firms are more likely to have the necessary capacity and resources, they may find this procurement process particularly beneficial for expanding their presence in the public sector auditing market.
