A detailed list of all bodies currently eligible to opt in is available at http://www.psaa.co.uk/supporting-the-transition/appointing-person/. It should be noted during the duration of the compulsory appointing period, an authority that has previously decided not to opt in or newly established authorities can still apply to opt into these arrangements.
Lot value is expressed in terms of the ‘audited body notional value’ (ABNV), which comprises the published scale fees for 2016/17 for all opted-in bodies. Scale fees from 2018/19 cannot be set until the audit services procurement has been concluded. PSAA will consult with opted-in authorities on the proposed scale of fees in autumn 2017 and will publish the fees applicable in March 2018.
Therefore, bidders will be invited to express their bids as a fixed proportion of the relevant ABNV. The Lot values are estimated assuming a current annual audit value of 37m GBP per annum but final values will depend on the number of opt-in authorities.
Please note that authorities will not be allocated to a Lot until the procurement is completed and the subsequent appointment consultation processes with opted-in authorities and audit firms have taken place. Auditor appointments will be made by 31 December 2017 for audit years from 2018/19.
For more information, please refer to PSAA’s procurement strategy http://www.psaa.co.uk/supporting-the-transition/appointing-person/procurement-strategy.
