Summary of the contracting process

The Castle Point & Rochford Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has awarded a short-term contract for the provision of external audit services to KPMG, with a total value of £380,000. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically classified as accounting and auditing services (CPV code 79210000). The procurement method utilised was a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, initiated due to the ongoing organisational changes within the Mid and South Essex CCGs, as well as the West Essex CCG. The contract was signed on 27th April 2021, following the expiry of the previous contract on 31st March 2021, and is intended to serve as a temporary solution until a comprehensive procurement process is arranged for a new external audit partner, expected to begin in the coming months for a contract start date of 1st July 2022.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses in the auditing and accounting sector, particularly those with experience in healthcare-related governance and compliance. As the contracted organisation moves towards an Integrated Care System, resulting from the merger of the CCGs in the region, there will likely be further needs for external audit services that align with the new organisational structure. Companies looking to compete in future tenders should ideally be established audit firms capable of navigating the complexities of public sector contracts, and those who can tailor their services to meet the unique demands of healthcare clients will be particularly well-suited.
