## Summary

The Department for Education (DfE) has finalised an award for a supplier audit under the procurement title "con_26270 - Supplier Audit," within the auditing services industry category. KPMG LLP has been selected as the supplier through a selective procurement method based on a call-off from an existing framework agreement. This process did not involve a re-opening of competition, adhering to the rotational process stipulated in the framework agreement. The contract involves conducting investigations related to allegations of fraud and includes capturing and reporting on electronic data. Key timelines for this contract span from the start date of 31st January 2025 to the end date of 30th May 2025, with delivery locations including a range of areas such as the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, United Kingdom, and globally.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in auditing, particularly those with expertise in forensic accounting and data investigation. With a total contract value of £52,000, businesses that are suited for such work may expand their portfolio by delivering vital services to government departments. While the procurement was awarded to a large-scale supplier, small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises, may find future similar opportunities accessible, given the call-off framework's suitability assessments. This engagement demonstrates the DfE's commitment to maintaining thorough auditing standards and offers a benchmark for potential future contracts within public sector auditing services.
