Summary of the contracting process

The Richmond Housing Partnership, a Housing Association based in Teddington, UK, has successfully completed a procurement process to secure "Internal Audit Services" under the classification of accounting and auditing services. This tender was conducted as part of the Crown Commercial Services Audit and Assurance Services Two (A&AS2) framework agreement. The procurement method was limited, following regulations that exempted it from prior publication requirements. The contract, valued at £193,800, was awarded on 6th May 2026 to RSM UK Risk Assurance Services LLP, with the service delivery location specified in the UKI6 region.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in accounting and auditing services, especially those with capabilities to extend their offerings within framework agreements like the Crown Commercial Services. The contract, initially set for three years with an option to extend for a further two, presents potential growth avenues for large-scale firms like RSM UK, which was awarded this contract. Suppliers capable of providing comprehensive audit and assurance services and adhering to framework guidelines are particularly well-suited for such opportunities.
