## Summary

The procurement titled "The Provision of External Audit Services - NHS Stockport CCG" involves the NHS Shared Business Services as the buying organisation. This procurement falls under the accounting and auditing services category and is located in the North West region of the United Kingdom. The tender process has reached the Award stage, with a contract value of £171,000. The contract period spans from 1st April 2017 to 31st March 2020, following a mini-competition held under the Crown Commercial Services ConsultancyONE framework. The initial tender period concluded on 2nd September 2016.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in audit services, particularly firms that meet the eligibility requirements outlined in the Financial Reporting Council's standards. Companies equipped to handle local authority audits and with experience in providing external audit services would be well-positioned to compete. The successful supplier, KPMG LLP, has been awarded the contract, yet future opportunities may arise as new audit appointments must be made at regular intervals, providing a continuous avenue for business growth in this sector.

## Notice

The aim of this Mini Competition is to provide a service which meets the requirements of the Local Accountability Act 2014: * an auditor panel must be appointed to advise on the appointments (Part 3 section 8 and 9 of the Act) * a local (external) auditor must be appointed to audit the annual accounts by 31 December of the preceding year (Part 3, section 7(1) of the Act) * an external auditor must be eligible for appointment in line with the Financial Reporting Council's (FRC) requirements (Part 4 and Schedule 5 of the Act) * the appointment can be for longer than a year but there must be a new appointment at least once every 5 years (Part 3, section 7(2) of the Act) * an auditor can be re-appointed for further terms (Part 3, section 7(3) of the Act). It will supply NHS Stockport Clinical Commissioning Group. Additional information: This ITQ was run as a mini-competition off the Crown Commercial Services ConsultancyONE framework agreement.
