UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Runnymede Borough Council aimed to contract services for the Housing Benefit Assurance Process (HBAP) under the industry category of accounting, auditing, and fiscal services. The process was completed via a direct procurement method, below the threshold and without competition, on 2nd September 2025. The procurement was awarded to BDO LLP, with the contract active from 7th July 2025 until 6th July 2026. The geographic focus of the service delivery is the UKJ25 region, and it represents a sub-central government public authority procurement. The total gross value of the contract stands at £55,800.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in accounting and auditing services, particularly those equipped to manage public sector contracts efficiently. BDO LLP, with a large-scale operation and established expertise in public sector services, exemplifies the type of supplier suitable for this contract. Businesses looking to expand their portfolio in government contracts might consider enhancing their credentials to participate in such direct award procedures in future tenders by governmental bodies like Runnymede Borough Council. This contrasts with more competitive tenders but requires readiness to engage with public sector buyers and understand specific government requirements and assurance processes.
