## Summary

The United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust has awarded a contract for an Internal Audit Service to BDO LLP, under the Business Services category, specifically focusing on law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security. The procurement process, which concluded on 14th May 2026, was managed through a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. Located in Lincoln, United Kingdom, the audit service is scheduled to commence on 20th April 2026 and will run until 19th April 2029, with a potential for two 12-month extensions. The tender process, conducted with a minimum value of £384,750 and a total contract value of £660,808.13, was open to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in business consultancy, specifically those with expertise in statutory audit and multi-specialty services. While BDO LLP was successful in securing the contract, SMEs with similar capabilities and a robust track record in consultancy services could find openings in future tender opportunities set by the NHS. Companies poised to deliver high-quality audit services and compliance consultancy would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar procurements and contribute to the public health sector's operational efficiency.
