The West Midlands Ambulance Service has awarded a contract for internal audit services to KPMG LLP, following a selective procurement process using a call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement, classified under the industry category of internal audit services, was conducted in Brierley Hill, United Kingdom, with the contract confirmed as active on 9th April 2025 and published on 29th April 2025. The contract period runs from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028. The total awarded contract value amounts to £421,800, highlighting its significance as part of the service’s organisational management activities.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses within the professional services sector, particularly those specialising in internal audit capabilities.
