UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime commissioned forensic accountancy services for Operation Northleigh, the investigation into the Grenfell Tower fire. The work falls within accounting, auditing and fiscal services and is being delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement is a specialist professional service supporting a major public investigation, rather than routine bookkeeping or general accountancy. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in London. The selected supplier, Quantuma Advisory, is also based in London. The procurement covers one service lot and concerns the provision of forensic financial analysis and accountancy support connected with the investigation. Businesses considering comparable work should therefore focus on specialist investigative accountancy services for public-sector investigations and complex evidence-led assignments.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Quantuma Advisory. It was made by direct award, using a below-threshold procedure without competition. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2027. Its value is £42,640 excluding VAT and £51,168 including VAT. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the available record identifies one completed lot. The award relates to the full forensic accountancy service for Operation Northleigh. This outcome shows that the buyer selected a single supplier for the service, with the contract covering a one-year period.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime for specialist forensic accountancy supporting a high-profile criminal or public-interest investigation. Competitors seeking similar work would need credible capability in forensic accounting, audit and financial investigation, with the capacity to handle evidence-led assignments connected to complex incidents. They would also need to operate effectively for a public authority and produce work suitable for investigative scrutiny. Quantuma Advisory’s selection indicates that an established specialist advisory firm can satisfy this type of requirement. Relevant businesses should assess their experience in forensic financial analysis, their ability to support investigators and their capacity to deliver a focused professional service for a major, sensitive investigation.
