    Brief

    UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is seeking an external auditor for SIL (Systems and Innovation Lab). This is a contract details notice rather than a competitive call for proposals. The procurement is being conducted as a non-competitive award due to the absence of reasonable alternatives for the required goods, services, or works. The selected provider will deliver independent audit services to ensure compliance, financial accuracy, and operational effectiveness. Potential suppliers should note that this opportunity is available under non-competitive procurement procedures.
