Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "The Provision of Quality Assurance Monitoring for DWP Housing Benefit Assurance Process" was managed by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in Leeds, England. This contract, classified under auditing services (CPV code: 79212000), was awarded to the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) following a single tender process due to a lack of responses to a previous voluntary transparency notice. The contract period spans from 23rd June 2021 to 29th July 2022, with a total contract value of £157,223.

This tender represents an opportunity for larger auditing firms that specialise in quality assurance and monitoring services, particularly those with experience in public sector contracts. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in the housing benefit sector and the ability to comply with rigorous audit standards will be well-suited to compete in similar future procurement processes. The absence of competition in the previous tender indicates potential openings for businesses looking to engage with government contracts in related areas.
