## Summary

The National Audit Office, based in London, has announced the extension of its contract with Wales Audit Office for the provision of financial auditing services for the Arts Council of Wales Lottery and Sports Council of Wales Lottery Financial Statements. This extension has been formalised, with the contract running from 19th December 2025 to 18th December 2027, valued at £132,000. The procurement process was conducted via a sole source supplier method and reached the award stage on 6th January 2026. The relevant industry category is classified under CPV code 79212100 for financial auditing services, with the delivery address in the postal code SW1W 9SP.

This sole source contract offers substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for firms specialising in financial auditing services. It is a considerable engagement over an extended period of two years, maintaining continuity for established players like the Wales Audit Office, a large-scale supplier. Enterprises that are not eligible might need to wait for further opportunities as the current period reflects a closed competition due to the sole source procurement method. The procurement is especially suitable for large-scale enterprises given the nature and scale of the financial statements involved. Interested businesses should position themselves for future engagements through networking and visibility with government buyers like the National Audit Office.
