The University of Staffordshire is undergoing changes within Senior Financial Management. The University Audit and Risk Committee has expressed concern regarding continuity of understanding, managing and reporting of the University Finances during this period. They have therefore required a One Year Below Threshold Reportable Contract be put in place for a period of 12 months with our incumbent supplier for a further year covering the 2026/27 audit only with no option to extend any further. As a considerable amount of effort has gone into this tender both from the University and the Supplier market we will continue with the tender process and have amended the contract period accordingly to commence with the 2027/28 audit. The award criteria will remain the same as previously published and the Contract will be awarded on this basis.
