## Summary

The contract for "External Audit Services" was awarded to HaysMac LLP by Prifysgol Bangor / Bangor University. Located in Bangor, the University serves public authority roles under Welsh devolved regulations. The procurement process, commencing with an open procedure, reached completion on 9th July 2025, with the contract term spanning until 30th June 2028, and a possibility for extension until 2030. The procurement focused on auditing services within the UK region, governed under the legal framework of the UKPGA 2023/54. The total contract value is £1,035,000 gross, with services priced at £862,500, affirming it as a significant project requiring top-tier financial audit expertise.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for firms specialising in professional audit services, particularly those equipped to meet rigorous standards set by the UK's higher education sector. While HaysMac LLP was successful in securing the current contract, the open procedure indicates potential competitiveness for future tenders, especially for large-scale audit service providers. Companies with capabilities to satisfy comprehensive audit compliance and accountability standards, including those aligned with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Further and Higher Education, would be well-suited candidates in future bidding opportunities at Bangor University.
