Await is a formal word and we do not use the preposition 'for' with await.

If we use the wait then you can use waiting according to the sentence but when we use await then never use ing form.

If we use Awaiting it means Waiting for. And we already have for in the sentece. So it is wrong!

Awaiting means waiting for, so need not be used both awaiting and for at a time in sentence.

There is no error "awaiting" itself include the meaning of "for" that's why "for" is incorrect in this sentence.
