## Summary

Paradigm Housing Group, based in Wooburn Green, UK, has recently completed a tender process for external audit services, classified under the accounting and auditing services industry. The procurement method was an open procedure, aimed at fulfilling statutory and regulatory reporting requirements over a contract period extending from three to five financial years, subject to annual review. The contract was awarded on 6 November 2020, with a total value of £374,500. The process has been marked as complete after receiving five bids.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in audit and accounting services, particularly those that can demonstrate high quality and competitive pricing, as the evaluation criteria emphasised quality (70%) and price (30%). Smaller and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find themselves in a favourable position, given the nature of the services required and the competitive space within the sector.
