## Summary

UK Shared Business Services Limited, located in Swindon, England, has awarded a contract worth £1,300,000 for the provision of audit services targeting obesity programmes through a call-off from the Crown Commercial Services Framework RM6310, Audit and Assurance Services LOT 2. This award, published on 23 April 2026, involves the selection of Forvis Mazars LLP as the supplier under a selective procurement method. The contract commences on 15 April 2026 and concludes on 28 September 2029, focusing on services within the auditing category, as indicated by CPV code 79212000.

This tender offers substantial potential for business growth, particularly for large auditing firms capable of providing comprehensive audit services. It presents an opportunity to engage with UK Research and Innovation by ensuring the effectiveness and accountability of obesity programmes. While favourable for established companies like Forvis Mazars LLP, the call-off from a framework agreement indicates the possibility of similar future competitions, fostering growth for suitable SMEs ready to expand their footprint in government contracts.
