How to Read This Tender
- 1Read the full specification to confirm the audit standards (e.g., UK GAAP, IFRS) the buyer expects
- 2Check the contract value and timeline – audit contracts often run for 12‑24 months and may be renewable
- 3Look for mandatory certifications such as ICAEW, ACCA or equivalent and evidence of professional indemnity insurance

Tips for Small Businesses
- If you are a small audit practice, consider teaming up with a larger firm to meet any size‑or experience thresholds while still retaining a lead role

- Emphasise your agility and personal service – smaller firms can often deliver faster turnaround and more direct communication than big firms
