## Summary

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government recently awarded a selective procurement under a call-off from a framework agreement for forensic accounting services. The awarded contract, valued at £200,000, will be provided by Grant Thornton to support a payment plan policy, starting from 17 March 2025 and ending on 16 March 2027. The procurement, classified under accounting and auditing services (CPV Code: 79210000), is located in London (postal code SW1P 4DF). The award stage of this procurement process was completed on 13 March 2025, following the tender period which concluded on 6 January 2025.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses within the forensic accounting sector, particularly those capable of delivering specialised consultancy support. The contract's division into three separate awards mitigates conflicts of interest and allows multiple firms to share in the opportunity. This procurement is advantageous for SMEs as they are explicitly considered suitable for this tender, suggesting that smaller accounting firms with relevant expertise are encouraged to compete for such opportunities to spur their growth.

## Notice

Forensic accounting consultancy support is required to support the delivery of a payment plan policy. This procurement resulted in three separate contracts being awarded, as the top ranked supplier had conflicts with a number of developers on which the services would be carried out. This award process was set out within the ITT documents.
