Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC) is delighted to launch its new Audit and Financial Services framework this month, which is a fast and compliant route to purchase a full range of audit and financial related services.
This is a retender of the previous Audit Services agreement, which has been merged with the old Financial Services framework, and it will run for three years, with an option to extend for a further 12 months (to 5th December 2028).
The agreement covers all the requirements as outlined in SORP, Post-16 Audit Code of Practice and the Academies Financial Handbook 2019 and it is intended to cover any potential future requirements that may be imposed on CPC members by the UK Government, the Department for Education (DfE), funding bodies and any other relevant entities.
It includes 32 suppliers (a mix of large supplier groups and SMEs) who can provide internal audit services, external audit services and financial services across 29 separate lots (which, between them, cover the whole United Kingdom).
There are multiple benefits when you use this framework, find more on the Audit and Financial Services framework page.
Don’t forget, by using any CPC service, you are helping support our Giving Back initiative, which is what we believe sets us apart from our peers and makes us unique. The charity has a renewed focus on special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), wellbeing and absenteeism, with our next Giving Back funding window to open on Monday 6th January 2025.
If you would like to learn more about the new Audit and Financial Services framework from Crescent Purchasing Consortium, contact the dedicated CPC Contract Manager, Ria Logan, via [email protected] or 0161 974 0955.
