Grant Audit Provider (Not for grants funded by Scottish Enterprises)

CPI also requires a supplier to undertake financial grant ‘desk-top’ audits in line with any statutory or contractual requirements, these may relate to the following types of grant claims: - Innovate UK (e.g. Competitive R&D projects) - Catapult funding also from Innovate UK but via the High Value Manufacturing Catapult - Horizon 2020 - Regional Growth Fund - Local Growth Fund - European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) - Horizon Europe - Any other grant claim audits as directed by CPI (E.g. BEIS, DSIT, DENZ) Due to the complexity of these programmes, it is essential that bidders have experience of providing grant audit services for at least three of the programmes listed above (ideally IUK, ERDF, H2020) and a good understanding of the other funding streams and their requirements.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Accounting, auditing and fiscal services (79200000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 7913,7414 median · 30.9 average (5,803 of 13,741 with a bid count)3.2 average (6,508 of 13,741 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
