Summary of the contracting process

The West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process titled "Internal audit & Counter fraud," primarily focusing on internal audit services within the NHS sector. This award stage process used a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract, valued at £534,375, covers services to be delivered across diverse locations, including the British Overseas Territories, Europe, and the United Kingdom, among others. The contract period spans from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2027, effectively transitioning from planning to implementation.

This tender, awarded to RSM UK Consulting LLP, offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in internal audit and counter-fraud services. Larger firms with a well-established presence in the audit services sector may find such contracts promising for expanding their portfolios, especially as smaller enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary sector organisations (VCSEs) are deemed unsuitable for this contract. This framework agreement allows the contractor to engage in meaningful collaborations across various geographical locations, potentially enhancing business growth and fostering stronger relationships with the NHS sector.
