## About this tender

### Modification Notice

Original description: This Lot contains charities. The NAO's audit portfolio includes a number of charities. These charities are generally bodies performing charitable functions within a Departmental Group or overseen by a Department, where these charitable functions coincide with the functions of the Sponsor Department. The charities included in this Lot covers museums in both the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and Ministry of Defence (MoD) area.

### Description of the modifications

The Financial Audit and Assurance Services contracts awarded under procurement reference GEN\_20\_22 have been modified to increase the overall contract value by £9.6 million and extend the existing arrangements. The modification ensures continuity of audit and assurance services and supports the National Audit Office in meeting its statutory responsibilities. The nature, scope and objectives of the contracts remain unchanged.

Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor:

Additional audit and assurance services are required from the original contractors to ensure continuity of statutory audit delivery. Changing contractors at this stage would cause significant inconvenience, duplication of costs and disruption to audit planning, delivery and quality assurance. The modification does not alter the overall nature of the contracts and the increase remains below 50% of the original contract value.
