Legal Services

The NAO does not have an in-house legal team. We are seeking to appoint experienced advisors who possess a sound track record of providing legal services of the type set out in the Lots specified in this procurement. Bidders will be expected to possess, and be able to demonstrate, authoritative knowledge of the UK public sector; the legal issues it faces and, where appropriate, how these affect the NAO in its capacity as the United Kingdom's principal public sector audit body. The successful bidder for each Lot will be expected to provide legal services to support the NAO's business. This will include the provision of advice to audit teams and central support functions as required. We are seeking to appoint advisors who will work closely and collaboratively with the NAO as if they were an extension of our own organisational structure.
