Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

HM Treasury appointed an external auditor to provide assurance over its Green Financing Programme allocation reporting. The work covers the financial year 2024/25 Allocation Report, due for publication in 2026, and subsequent annual Allocation Reports. This is a professional auditing services requirement, focused on reviewing and assuring how green financing allocations are reported. The commissioning organisation is HM Treasury, based at Horse Guards Road, London. The programme and associated reporting function are also based in London. The requirement is relevant to audit, assurance and accountancy firms with experience of providing independent assurance on public-sector financial or sustainability-related reporting. It is not a general accounting support contract: the central requirement is external assurance of recurring allocation reports for a government green-financing programme.

The procurement has been awarded. Grant Thornton UK LLP was selected as the supplier, with an award recorded as active. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and is valued at £63,959.07. The award date is not separately stated. The procurement used a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as a call-off through the Government Commercial Agency Framework Agreement RM6310, Lot 2 for external audit, using further competition. Evaluation weighted the Technical Envelope at 70% and the Commercial Envelope at 30%. One electronic bid was received, and none came from an SME. The recorded lot status is cancelled, although an active award and contract are recorded against it; this appears to be a procurement record with a completed award outcome.

This outcome indicates demand for independent audit and assurance of government green-financing allocation reports, including recurring annual reporting. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a strong external-audit and assurance practice, with the technical capability to assess financial allocation reporting and provide clear, defensible assurance conclusions. Experience of public-sector clients, government reporting environments and sustainability or green-finance programmes would be directly relevant. The evaluation gave substantially greater weight to technical quality than cost, so firms would need to demonstrate robust methodology, suitably qualified audit personnel, effective quality control and the ability to deliver reliable work for annual reporting cycles. Access to the Government Commercial Agency’s external-audit framework, or an equivalent route into comparable public-sector work, would also be important for competing through the same procurement channel.
