## Summary

The London Borough of Lewisham has recently concluded the procurement process for auditing leaseholder service charges, a crucial service ensuring the accuracy of billing and protecting substantial leaseholder income. This audit was conducted with a direct procurement method, without competition, and falls below the financial threshold typically requiring competitive tendering. Categorised under services, the procurement process focused on the accounting and auditing industry within the United Kingdom. The audit period runs from 1 May to 30 August 2026, with adjustments completed in September. The final award was announced on 24 April 2026, marking the completion of the procurement stage.

This tender provides significant growth opportunities, especially for firms specialising in accounting and auditing services. Large organisations with expertise in financial audits are particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts, given the emphasis on financial accuracy and timeliness. Through engagements like these, businesses can enhance their portfolio and reputation in the public sector, fostering long-term relationships with sub-central government bodies such as the London Borough of Lewisham. As demonstrated by Menzies, a large supplier in London, securing such contracts can affirm a company's position within the industry and contribute to sustainable business expansion.

## Notice

The Council is required to commission an independent annual audit of Leaseholder Service Charges to ensure the accuracy of charges and enable the timely issue of revised bills. The audit must be completed between 1 May and 30 August, with adjustments processed in September. This is a critical service, and failure to complete the audit within the required timeframe would place up to PS10m of annual leaseholder income at risk.
