## Summary

The S4C organisation, located in Caerfyrddin, has recently awarded a contract for Internal Audit Services, titled "Gwasanaethau Archwilio Mewnol S4C." This tender falls under the services category, specifically focusing on accounting and auditing services. The procurement process was initiated with a tendering method and concluded with the award dated 24 March 2022. The scope of work is set for an initial three-year period beginning with the reporting year of 2022/23, involving approximately 25 days per annum of service, which includes planning and administration tasks. The successful supplier, Tiaa Ltd, must demonstrate linguistic abilities in Welsh as a significant portion of the documentation is available only in this language.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in auditing and financial services, particularly those with expertise in public sector audits and bilingual capabilities. Companies that can effectively communicate with the National Audit Office and adapt to S4C's regulatory requirements will be well-suited contenders. Additionally, firms able to reflect the delineation between S4C's Public Service Fund and General Fund are likely to have a competitive advantage in qualifying for such procurement opportunities.
