## Summary

NHS England commissioned financial governance assessment support for its regulation teams carrying out Well Led Assessments of NHS organisations. The work is to provide an appropriately skilled and experienced financial governance assessor who can join those teams and contribute financial assurance expertise to their assessments. This is a professional financial auditing service, delivered in connection with NHS England’s work in London and across England. It is a focused specialist assignment supporting assessment of how NHS organisations are led and governed, rather than a general audit or accounting service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MIAA (Mersey Internal Audit Agency) on 5 October 2026. The award value is £65,000, and the contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 1 October 2027. NHS England used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The original estimated procurement value was also £65,000, with a submission deadline of 28 September 2026 at 12 noon. The published suitability settings marked the work unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The stated requirement is for a financial governance assessor to support Well Led Assessments; no separate evaluation weighting or scoring criteria are recorded in the process information.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows NHS England’s demand for specialist financial governance expertise embedded within teams assessing NHS organisations’ leadership and governance. A credible competitor would need assessors with demonstrable financial governance and audit experience, the judgement to work in a regulatory assessment context, and the ability to collaborate effectively with NHS regulation teams. The buyer selected a supplier through a framework call-off, so relevant framework access and the ability to respond to that route would be commercially important if this requirement returns. The stated suitability settings indicate a requirement framed for suppliers beyond SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; businesses should therefore assess whether they can provide the necessary experienced resource and organisational capacity at this scale.
