Procurement of an audit-automation and data-extraction platform for financial audit and assurance, with phased rollout from 100 to 150 users in year one and a maximum of 240 users from year two. ContractLens treats the current official notice and procurement documents as the controlling supplier evidence.

Current status and key dates

The official notice was checked on 28 July 2026 and remained open. The controlling submission deadline is 25 August 2026, 12:00 Europe/London.

Scope and deliverables

Provide an audit-automation and data-extraction platform supporting financial audit and assurance activities. Support phased rollout to 100 users in the first six months, 150 users in the next six months and a maximum of 240 users from year two. Support audit testing, evidence collection, documentation quality, collaboration and review workflows for public-sector financial audit data. The listed scope is bounded to the current official notice and supporting procurement documents.

Lots and contract structure

The official notice does not divide the requirement into lots, so tenderers respond for the complete platform, rollout, support and related service scope. Suppliers must therefore assess the complete requirement and all combined delivery obligations before bidding.

Supplier requirements

Complete security, scalability, public-sector accounting-data, implementation, insurance, KPI, support and service requirements remain in the tender documents. The official notice does not state an estimated contract value and ContractLens does not infer one. Tenderers should verify every qualification and evidence requirement against the current documents.

Submission and award method

Open procedure with technical quality weighted 80% and price weighted 20%. The official deadline is 25 August 2026 at 12:00 Europe/London, with tender opening at 12:30. The initial contract is 12 months with one optional additional 12-month extension and is not divided into lots. The live portal and procurement documents remain authoritative for submission mechanics and later clarifications.

Value explanation

No estimated contract value is stated on the official notice and ContractLens does not infer one. Complete security, scalability, data-format, implementation, insurance, KPI and service requirements remain in the tender documents. ContractLens does not convert estimates, missing values or possible extensions into guaranteed supplier revenue.

Amendments and status history

The current live notice is the controlling procurement surface. Any later clarification, correction, deadline change, cancellation or award must be checked directly before submission.

Supplier relevance

This opportunity may be relevant to software suppliers, implementation partners, managed-service providers and specialist support teams able to satisfy the stated public-sector requirements.
