## Summary

The Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government has awarded the Counter Fraud Support Contract, which is classified under financial consultancy services. The procurement process, which utilised a selective method as a direct award under the Crown Commercial Services Management Consultancy Two Framework, was completed and officially published on 22nd June 2020.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in financial consultancy services, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can provide immediate and practical support in countering fraud, particularly in the context of increased risks associated with COVID-19 financial assistance packages.
