## Summary

The Blackpool Council has completed a tender process for the provision of statutory financial audit services, which includes the production of full statutory accounts and filing with Companies House for several entities within the Blackpool area. The procurement, classified under Treasury services, had a minimum value of £50,000 and a total contract value of £85,000, with a contract period starting on 16th July 2018 and concluding on 31st October 2018. The tender was published on 26th October 2018 and marked its completion stage shortly after, with the award being made to the supplier, Smith Craven.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in financial auditing and related services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), which are often well-suited to this type of service provision. Given the localised nature of the contract, businesses operating in the North West of England with expertise in statutory financial services may find this a valuable opportunity to expand their operations and establish long-term partnerships with local authorities.
