Summary of the contracting process

The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is seeking to procure external audit services through a selective tender process for the project titled "KPMG/PWC External Audit WP1408". This procurement is taking place in the services category, focusing specifically on internal audit services (CPV code: 79212200). The contract period is set from 26 April 2021 to 28 May 2021, with the tender period having ended on 13 April 2021. The award of the contract was valued at £65,675, and it covers multiple delivery addresses across the United Kingdom, including the Isle of Man, Guernsey, and Jersey.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for firms specialising in audit and financial consultancy services, particularly those that can demonstrate the ability to provide independent validation and assurance of costs within the healthcare sector. Given the critical need to mitigate the risk of misuse of public funds, businesses with expertise in auditing and compliance, especially those familiar with public sector contracts, would be well-prepared to meet the requirements outlined by the DHSC. Collaboration with large auditing firms could also enhance competitiveness in this space.

Notice Information

Notice Title

KPMG/PWC External Audit WP1408

Notice Description

A recent lab strategy review to required capacity across the Pillar 2 lab network, which is PCR testing in a laboratory setting. The outcome of this was to reduce the operating laboratory network to 10 operating labs which has an overall capacity of 750k tests per day - this was approved by Secretary of State. To assist with this, external audit review support is considered necessary for the following reasons: * Provide independent validation and assurance of costs claimed by respective labs. * The volume of labs being closed and the timeline to effect closures * Mitigate the risk of misuse of public money (e.g. through constructive loss or fruitless payments)
