Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The UK Health Security Agency has concluded the procurement process titled "UKHSA 24-25 Accounts production and financial capability support," focusing on the compilation of financial statements services. The process has reached the award stage, with the contract being awarded on 16th May 2025 to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The procurement method was selective, executed through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract is set to begin on 28th April 2025 and conclude on 31st March 2026, with services mainly delivered from London, E14 4PU, United Kingdom. This contract is aimed at addressing financial reporting and control issues in preparation for the 2024-2025 accounts. The estimated contract value is £998,800.

This tender presents a considerable opportunity for large accounting and financial consultancy firms such as PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP that have the necessary resources and expertise to assist public bodies in financial statement compilation and reporting. With a focus on enhancing financial capability and resolving existing reporting complications, businesses in the finance and auditing sector stand to benefit substantially by engaging in complex and large-scale projects underpinned by public accountability requirements. However, small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises, are not deemed suitable candidates for this procurement, indicating a preference for larger, established firms.

Notice Information

Notice Title

UKHSA 24-25 Accounts production and financial capability support

Notice Description

The UKHSA has a public duty to account for the taxpayer funds it spends accurately and in a timely fashion. The Agency's accounts were disclaimed in prior years as a result of failure of UKHSA to fully support its financial position. The 23-24 account was qualified as a result of failing to provide sufficient evidence to support the CVU opening balances and the NAO Audit Completion Report identifies significant reporting and control issues that UKHSA still needs to address. This contract will support the Agency in addressing those areas in preparation for the 24-25 accounts production.
