Summary of the contracting process

Chesterfield Borough Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the provision of audit services pertaining to the Housing Benefit Assurance Process (HBAP), with KPMG AUDIT PLC being awarded the contract. This tender, falling under the services category and classified within the auditing services industry (CPV code 79212000), is valued at £101,546.50. The procurement was conducted using a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract commenced on 1st April 2026 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2030. The services will be performed in Chesterfield, England (postal code S40 1LP).

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in auditing services, particularly those that are small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as the tender process demonstrated an openness to such entities. While the opportunity at hand has been awarded to a large-scale supplier, it exemplifies the type of public sector contract that can aid businesses in expanding their client base within governmental contracts. The nature of audit services as a recurring need within public councils suggests continued opportunities for similar services in the future. This would be particularly advantageous for enterprises that have established themselves within frameworks and are positioned to engage in selective procurement processes.
