NAO extends audit contracts by £9.6m for continuity.
Some language patterns suggest this RFP may be written for a specific incumbent vendor. Review qualification requirements and brand-specific terms carefully before committing bid resources.
The National Audit Office (NAO) has modified existing contracts for financial audit and assurance services, increasing the total contract value by £9.6 million and extending the term. The contracts cover audits of BEIS and Transport department groups, including entities that collect levies or fees requiring Trust Statements. The modification ensures continuity of statutory audit delivery without changing the nature, scope, or objectives of the contracts. Changing contractors would cause significant inconvenience, duplication of costs, and disruption to audit planning and quality assurance.
