## Summary

Post Office Limited has completed the procurement process titled "Independent assurance," fitting within the financial consultancy and clearing-house services industry. The contract, valued at £96,000 GBP, aims to provide independent assurance on the design and operation of the internal controls of the Bank of England Note Circulation Scheme. The procurement was conducted through a direct method under a single tender action (below threshold), and the contract period is scheduled from 8 April 2024 to 31 July 2024. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was awarded the contract on 7 April 2024.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for companies in the financial consultancy sector, particularly those experienced in internal control assurance for large organisations.
