    "description": "WRAP are seeking to understand the current market for the provision of independent statutory external audit services and to inform the development of a future procurement exercise via this pre-market engagement. The anticipated requirement is for a suitably qualified and registered external auditor to provide independent statutory external audit services to WRAP. The appointed auditor would be expected to work professionally and independently, whilst maintaining constructive engagement with WRAP's Finance Team, senior management, Global Audit and Risk Committee and Trustees. The requirement is anticipated to include the audit of WRAP's consolidated/group accounts and standalone audits for two UK subsidiaries: Accelerating Growth Fund Ltd and WRAP Enterprises Ltd. The requirement may also involve oversight and coordination of international audit activity and component auditors, where applicable. \nWRAP is undertaking this RFI to obtain information from the market which will help inform its understanding of supplier appetite, capacity, delivery models, likely costs and any considerations that should be taken into account when developing the future procurement process. At this stage, WRAP is not seeking detailed tender responses or evidence against these requirements. Rather, suppliers are invited to provide market feedback on their ability to meet the anticipated requirement and highlight any areas that may need further consideration.\nFor more information about this opportunity, please visit the eSourcing portal at: \nhttps://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Banbury:-Auditing-services./26M8V89K25\nTo respond to this opportunity, please click here: \nhttps://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/26M8V89K25",
