## Summary

Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority has concluded a procurement process for audit services for the financial year 2025/26, appointing FORVIS MAZARS LLP as the auditor. The procurement process falls under a direct award method, conducted without competition for contracts below the threshold value, resulting in a contract worth £110,793. The procurement process is categorised under auditing services, with delivery covering multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK. The procurement is in the award stage, finalised on 12th June 2026, with the contract period starting from 30th June 2026 to 31st March 2027. The buying organisation is a public authority within the sub-central government category, located in Bootle, United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for audit firms, particularly those proficient in public sector auditing services. While the awarded contract involved a direct procurement method without open competitive processes due to its below-threshold value, it highlights the potential for similarly positioned businesses to engage with public sector authorities for contract opportunities. Large-scale audit firms with experience in handling comprehensive public sector finances could find opportunities in engaging with sub-central government bodies such as the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority for similar or related future contracts.
