## Summary

Bangor University has completed the procurement process for the "Pension Scheme External Audit" under the services category, specifically auditing services. The process was conducted using a limited procurement method, signifying a below threshold competition. The award was decided on 17th October 2025, with the contract commencing on 3rd November 2025 and continuing until 2nd November 2028, with possible renewals extending up to two additional years. The contracting process operates under Welsh devolved regulations, and the buyer is classified as a public authority under sub-central government. The project is situated in the region of UKL12 in the United Kingdom.

This tender provides growth opportunities, especially for businesses specialising in auditing services within the public sector. Large auditing firms, like Crowe UK LLP, which won the contract, are well-suited to compete in this field. Plenty of potential lies in similar contracts where expertise in pension audits and understanding of local government requirements can prove advantageous. Engaging in such contracts can help firms enhance their portfolios and expand their client base within the governmental sector.

## Notice

Bangor University actively operates two occupational pension schemes. All members of staff (between the ages of 18-60) are invited to join either one scheme or another. The Bangor University Pension & Assurance Scheme (BUPAS) is the pension scheme for all support and ancillary staff.
