Rotation, independence and what an audit tender is really testing
Audit is one of the few professional services where the buyer is required to go to market whether it is satisfied with the incumbent or not. Rotation rules, statutory in many jurisdictions, cap how long a firm or an engagement partner may serve, which is why these notices appear on a predictable cycle and why the incumbent is frequently ineligible. Independence is assessed against the whole firm: non-audit services supplied to the same body, including consulting and tax work, are restricted or prohibited, and the declaration covers network firms as well.
The scope in a public sector audit is wider than a financial opinion. Alongside the statement of accounts, engagements commonly cover regularity -- whether spending was within the authority granted -- value for money arrangements, grant certification, and assurance over systems and controls. Internal audit is a separate market, bought as an annual plan of risk-based reviews rather than as an opinion, and the same firm is usually barred from holding both roles. Bidders should read which of these is actually being tendered.
Pricing is built from a planned mix of hours by grade, and the evaluation looks for whether that mix is credible against the complexity of the entity. A bid that wins on price and then requests additional fees for scope the documents already described is a familiar pattern buyers now guard against with explicit change control. Quality is assessed through the firm's regulatory inspection record, the qualifications and continuity of named staff, and its methodology for areas where public bodies most often have problems: asset valuation, pension liabilities, group boundaries and revenue recognition on grants.
