The main aim of the solution is to provide access to local authorities to appoint auditors authorised to audit and sign off accounts. Where possible we are also looking to feature routes to market for audit services for other public or third sector bodies such as further education providers, universities, NHS, emergency services, housing associations, and charities. This is currently planned to be an open framework which will be re-opened at least twice during its lifespan to provide suppliers with further opportunities to bid. ## CPV classification Financial auditing services Statutory audit services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-0557c8-2025-09-10T14:41:29+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-0557c8-2025-09-10T14:41:29+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
