About
Bristol City Council awarded a contract to Grant Thornton UK LLP for external audit services.
The contract value is £3.2 million over five years, following an increase from the originally approved £2.5 million due to higher annual fees set by the Public Sector Audit Appointments (PSAA).
The council opted into the PSAA framework in 2022, which was approved by Full Council, to benefit from economies of scale and avoid an independent tender.
The procurement was conducted under PCR 2015 via RFQ.
