## Summary

The Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) is conducting a public procurement for Audit Services, aimed at providing financial audit services for three Interreg Atlantic Area Programme projects, namely INTEGRATE, PRIMROSE, and the Baltic Sea Region Programme ALLIANCE, which are part-funded through Interreg and ERDF. The procurement process, which follows an open procedure, is currently in the award stage, and the contract was signed on 10th October 2018 for a total value of £4,667. The project's delivery address is located at the Scottish Marine Institute, Oban, Argyll, PA37 1QA. Key procurement dates include the end of the tender period on 5th September 2018 and the beginning of the contract period on 14th September 2018, running until 31st December 2020.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in financial auditing, particularly those with experience in public sector projects and familiarity with European funding mechanisms. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as evidenced by the fact that all six bids received were from SMEs. Competing firms should ideally demonstrate expertise in compliance auditing and financial reporting relevant to multi-project programmes, making this an excellent opportunity for local companies looking to expand their public sector clientele.
