Summary of the contracting process

The UK Debt Management Office has completed the procurement process for professional services audit work, focusing on internal audit services under the NHS Framework Agreement. The contract, valued at GBP 29,500, pertains to the auditing services industry and covers delivery within London, United Kingdom. The procurement method was selective and conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement. Key dates include the contract period starting on 3rd February 2025 and ending on 30th April 2025, with the award notice published on 28th February 2025.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in internal auditing services, particularly those familiar with public sector frameworks.

Companies that are adept at providing comprehensive audit solutions, ensuring compliance and financial integrity, would be well-suited to compete in similar future procurements. However, suitability is not focused on SMEs or VCSEs for this particular contract.
