## Summary

The National Audit Office has issued a tender for "Financial Audit and Assurance Services Contract" under the industry category of accounting, auditing, and fiscal services. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with a contract period spanning from 2nd August 2021 to 31st July 2026. The procurement is being carried out using an open procedure, and the tender involves services to be delivered across a broad range of locations, including the UK, British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World. With a contract value modification increasing by £9.6 million, the tender seeks continuity in audit and assurance services crucial for debt and cash management for the UK Government.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities within the financial auditing and assurance sector. The open procedure welcomes Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), offering an inclusive entry point into governmental contracts, especially for firms equipped to handle comprehensive auditing services. Given the scale and international reach of the services required, businesses with a robust organisational structure, experience in handling large audit processes, and an understanding of statutory audit requirements are well-suited to compete for this opportunity.

## Notice

Modification Notice Original description: These audits fall within the NAO's Centre Group and so are aligned under the same business management processes. These organisations have a crucial role to play in debt and cash management for the UK Government. Description of the modifications The Financial Audit and Assurance Services contracts awarded under procurement reference GEN_20_22 have been modified to increase the overall contract value by PS9.6 million and extend the existing arrangements. The modification ensures continuity of audit and assurance services and supports the National Audit Office in meeting its statutory responsibilities. The nature, scope and objectives of the contracts remain unchanged. Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor: Additional audit and assurance services are required from the original contractors to ensure continuity of statutory audit delivery. Changing contractors at this stage would cause significant inconvenience, duplication of costs and disruption to audit planning, delivery and quality assurance. The modification does not alter the overall nature of the contracts and the increase remains below 50% of the original contract value.
