## Summary

The University of Bath has recently awarded a contract for external auditing services related to Innovate UK grants, valued at £97,500. The procurement process followed an open procedure, with the tender period ending on 23rd September 2019. The contract commencement date is 24th September 2019, and it is set to conclude on 23rd September 2024. The services required are classified under the CPV code for auditing services and will be delivered in Bath, situated in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This awarded contract presents an excellent opportunity for firms specialising in auditing services, particularly those with experience in handling grants or public funding. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find this market accessible, as the University of Bath noted that the contract could potentially favour such economic operators, despite the ultimate selection criteria focusing solely on the prescribed evaluation metrics. Companies with a strong background in public sector audits, financial consulting, or related services would be well-positioned to compete for future tenders in this space.

## Notice

The University of Bath has a requirement for an external audit service to provide reports on Innovate UK grants held by the University. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
