External Audit Services Framework Agreement YPO 001301

Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation · Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 30 Sept 2026, 05:24.

Opportunity overview

YPO are looking to undertake preliminary market engagement to establish a compliant route to market for External Audit Services requiring provision of external audit and related services under the Procurement Act 2023. The main aim of the solution is to provide access to local authorities to appoint auditors authorised to audit and sign off accounts. Where possible we are also looking to feature routes to market for audit services for other public or third sector bodies such as further education providers, universities, NHS, emergency services, housing associations, and charities. This is currently planned to be an open framework which will be re-opened at least twice during its lifespan to provide suppliers with further opportunities to bid.
