Modification Notice
Original description: BEIS and Transport are Department Group audits falling within the NAO's Infrastructure Group and so are aligned under the same business management processes. Several bodies within this Lot collect significant levels of income through levies or fees, and so an additional Trust Statement is prepared and audited that details income collected under this legislation.
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.
