NAO modifies audit contract, adds £9.6M and extends term.
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) is modifying an existing contract for financial audit and assurance services, originally awarded under reference GEN_20_22. The modification increases the contract value by £9.6 million and extends the term to ensure continuity of statutory audit delivery, particularly for charities within DCMS and MoD areas. The NAO requires additional services from the incumbent contractors to avoid disruption, duplication of costs, and quality assurance issues. The modification does not change the nature, scope, or objectives of the contracts, and the increase remains below 50% of the original value.
