We support Parliament in holding government to account and we help to improve public services through our high-quality audits. The NAO's contract is a fundamental part of being able to carry out our purpose and achieve our objectives. The purpose of this contract is to work in partnership with supplier firms to ensure we deliver high quality audits, to support effective accountability and lead to better financial reporting and financial management by public bodies. We will be contracting out a series of audit engagements which will be divided into lots as well as procuring additional services.
