Details

The Council is seeking comprehensive external audit services to commence with the audit of the accounts for the 2026/2027 financial year, ending on 31 March 2027. There will be an initial contract period of two years, with an option to extend for up to a further two years, performance will be monitored through agreed key performance indicators (KPI’s), and the contractor will be formally re-appointed on an annual basis subject to the approval of the Audit and Governance Sub-Committee or the Board of Directors. To be successful your organisation will need to demonstrate how you would provide the services needed in addition to identifying how your organisation can innovate the service delivery model, provide efficiency savings and reduce demands on council resources during the audit process. We invite suitably qualified and experienced firms to tender for the provision of these services. Bidders may submit a tender for one or more of the individual organisations listed in section 2 (i.e. Lot 1 and/or 2). There is also provision for bidders to offer a discount if they are awarded the contracts for both companies. For more information about this opportunity, please visit the eSourcing portal at:

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this financial & professional services opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
