Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has awarded call-off contracts for restructuring services under the Forensic Accounting, Investigation, Audit and Assurance Framework. The procurement process is complete, and the contracts were designated for Lot 3, focusing on Audit and Assurance. The total programme value is £4 million, with the contract period starting on 1 July 2022 and ending on 30 June 2025. Suppliers involved include RSM, Mazars, PwC, and Wylie & Bisset, with the procurement method classified as selective, facilitated through a framework agreement. The tender period concluded on 20 May 2022.

This opportunity is particularly appealing for businesses involved in accounting, auditing, and fiscal services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs). As the contracts may be extended under certain conditions, there is potential for ongoing engagement and revenue generation. Companies that specialise in audit reviews and compliance assessments could significantly benefit from this framework, enabling them to expand their portfolios and client bases in the education sector across various UK regions.
