## Summary

NHS Property Services Limited has completed the procurement process for External Audit Services, under the title "External Audit Services", classified within the accounting and auditing services industry category. The procurement took place in England, United Kingdom, and utilised a limited procurement method, specifically a negotiated procedure without prior publication above the threshold. The award stage was reached, with the National Audit Office being the successful supplier for a contract valued at £473,000. The contract period is set between 1st January 2024 and 31st March 2025, highlighting a strategic step for NHS Property Services to enhance its financial oversight tasks. Key dates include the tender period that concluded on 22nd November 2023, and the award being published on 27th November 2025.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses with expertise in audit services, particularly those equipped to handle large-scale contracts. While the procurement method limited the competition to negotiated procedures without publication, organisations capable of delivering complex audit solutions, similar in capacity to the National Audit Office, can thrive within such procurement contexts. Furthermore, businesses promoting principles and practices aligned with the values of public service organisations, especially those classified as large or VCSEs (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises), would find similar opportunities beneficial for network growth and portfolio diversification within the public sector.
