Summary of the contracting process

Fair4All Finance Limited procured external audit services, classified as auditing services (CPV 79212000). The work is delivered remotely to the organisation’s premises at 16–18 Middlesex Street, London, and covers activity across England’s regional areas. The requirement is for professional external audit provision for this public-law body, rather than for audit software, internal audit staffing or general financial consultancy. The buyer is Fair4All Finance Limited, based in London. The procurement was structured as a further competition under the CCS Audit and Assurance Services Two Framework (RM6130), indicating that the service is intended for a suitably qualified audit provider able to operate through that framework route.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The contract is active and was signed on 1 August 2026 for £710,000. The process used a limited procedure: an award without prior publication of a call for competition, let through the CCS RM6130 framework. Price was the stated award criterion, and four electronic bids were recorded. The only lot was marked cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active. The lot included an option to extend the arrangement by two years. The published outcome therefore records a completed framework-based award to PwC, with the stated contract value applying to that contract and not to any wider procurement or other lots.

This outcome demonstrates demand from Fair4All Finance for externally delivered audit services at substantial organisational scale, with the work entrusted to a large professional services firm. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable external audit capability, the capacity to provide remote services to a London-based public-law organisation and the ability to cover the relevant geographical scope. Access to, and compliance with, the CCS Audit and Assurance Services Two Framework would be important because this requirement was let through that route rather than through an openly advertised competition. Suppliers should also be prepared to compete primarily on price, as price was the stated evaluation basis. The four electronic bids indicate competition from several framework-eligible providers.
