## Summary

The procurement process involves Newcastle University as the buying organisation, seeking external audit services for its UK subsidiary companies through tender ID NCL001-DN522084-29731179. The tender process is complete, with the award made on 15 March 2021, covering services classified under auditing with a total contract value of £72,000. The contract period commenced on 1 April 2021, set to conclude on 31 March 2023. The services are required in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, and the tender had a deadline for submissions on 16 February 2021.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses in the auditing sector, particularly those with capacity for statutory audits and experience dealing with educational institutions or similar organisations. Given the nature of this contract, larger firms with established auditing practices, such as Tait Walker, could dominate the competition. However, opportunities may also exist for skilled smaller firms in the sector, especially where they possess niche expertise in university audits or compliance functions.

## Notice

Lot 1: Statutory audit of the University's UK subsidiary companies The main contact within the University for the subsidiary companies will be the Executive Director of Finance through whom arrangements will be made for the conduct of the audit and with whom issues arising from the audit will be cleared. All subsidiary companies have a 31st July year end.
