Located in Moor Row, England, this open tender is currently active and will close on 7th January 2022. The contract is set to commence on 8th February 2022 and will run for a period of four years, concluding on 7th January 2026. The estimated contract value is £400,000, with a minimum threshold of £300,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in auditing and financial services, particularly those that can demonstrate experience in auditing against UK GAAP and Pensions Act requirements. Companies capable of handling the complexities of audit planning and execution, particularly within the context of pension schemes, will find themselves well-suited to compete. Businesses should consider their ability to engage in regular communications and meetings with trustees and administrators, as required throughout the contract period. ## Notice The core tasks each year are: Audit of the Plan financial statements as at 31 March year end prepared in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice ('GAAP), the Pensions Act 1995 and the Pensions Statement of Recommended Practice ('SORP'). Audit of the Trustee's Statement about Contributions for the year ended 31 March against the Pension Act 1995 requirements and the latest Schedules of Contributions, including contact with all contributing employers. An additional core task once every three years (next due in 2022) is: Audit of the Plan's Trustee Company financial statements as at 31 March year end prepared in accordance with UK GAAP. There is usually a planning meeting with the main administrator and the Secretariat each January. For 2022 only, after appointment of the auditor in early-February 2022 this meeting should be held as soon as possible. Following this the auditor should prepare the audit scope and strategy plan for sign-off at the April Trustee Board Meeting, which they will also be expected to attend. Throughout the audit completion and accounts preparation period the Secretariat, auditor and lead administrator have weekly calls to ensure the preparation is on track and any issues or queries can be raised and addressed in a timely manner. The audit reports should be ready for sign-off (together with an audit highlights memorandum) no later than the October Trustee Board Meeting, which the auditor will be expected to attend. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5538e0d8-ca50-4db9-8b7d-b5fe6f118b79 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Nov 2021 | | Submission deadline | 7 Jan 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 8 Feb 2022 - 7 Jan 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £400,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CTM PORTAL FOR THE NDA SHARED SERVICES ALLIANCE | | Locality | MOOR ROW | | Post town | Carlisle | | Postcode | CA24 3HU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD1 Cumbria | | ITL 3 | TLD13 Cumberland | | Local authority | Cumberland | | Electoral ward | Egremont North and St Bees | | Westminster constituency | Whitehaven and Workington | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79200000 - Accounting, auditing and fiscal services - 79212000 - Auditing services ## Release History - 29 Nov 2021 at 17:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5538e0d8-ca50-4db9-8b7d-b5fe6f118b79 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5538e0d8-ca50-4db9-8b7d-b5fe6f118b79 29th November 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.gov.uk/government/case-studies/shared-services-alliance-ssa-for-nuclear-decommissioning-estate ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
