# Certification audits of EU funds administered by Latvia’s Rural Support Service

The Latvian Ministry of Agriculture seeks audit services to certify EU-fund expenditure of the State Rural Support Service. The 31-month contract has no renewals and is stated to be funded in whole or in part by EU funds. Award scoring combines 70 points for the lowest K1 price, 5 for consultation hourly price and 25 for the nominated IT auditor’s recent EU agricultural-fund audit experience. No estimated value is published. TED gives a deadline of 28 October 2026 at 10:00 UTC+02:00, differing from the immutable snapshot.
