## Summary

The procurement process pertains to the provision of external audit services for NHS Bolton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), with a total contract value of £225,000. The process is classified under accounting and auditing services, taking place in the North West of England. The tender was managed by NHS Shared Business Services and is currently marked as completed following the award to KPMG LLP on November 10, 2016. The contract period is set to commence on April 1, 2017, and will last until March 31, 2020. Key details include that the tender was part of a mini-competition run off the Crown Commercial Services ConsultancyONE framework, with the deadline for submissions having been September 14, 2016.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the financial and auditing services sector, particularly those with experience in public sector operations. Given the requirements outlined in the Local Accountability Act 2014, firms that can demonstrate compliance with the Financial Reporting Council's standards would be particularly competitive. While the contract has been awarded, businesses focusing on public service audits and consultancy may still find opportunities for future contracts or similar tenders within the NHS framework.

## Notice

The aim of this Mini Competition is to provide a service which meets the requirements of the Local Accountability Act 2014: * an auditor panel must be appointed to advise on the appointments (Part 3 section 8 and 9 of the Act) * a local (external) auditor must be appointed to audit the annual accounts by 31 December of the preceding year (Part 3, section 7(1) of the Act) * an external auditor must be eligible for appointment in line with the Financial Reporting Council's (FRC) requirements (Part 4 and Schedule 5 of the Act) * the appointment can be for longer than a year but there must be a new appointment at least once every 5 years (Part 3, section 7(2) of the Act) * an auditor can be re-appointed for further terms (Part 3, section 7(3) of the Act). It will supply NHS Bolton Clinical Commissioning Group. Additional information: This ITQ was run as a mini-competition off the Crown Commercial Services ConsultancyONE framework agreement.
