## Summary

The Devon Partnership NHS Trust has awarded a contract for external audit services to Price WaterhouseCoopers LLP. The contract is valued at £143,000 and is set to commence on 1st January 2017, with an initial duration of three years, alongside options for extension for an additional two years. This procurement falls under the accounting, auditing, and fiscal services category, and used a selective procurement method. The tender process concluded on 31st December 2016, and the awarded contract will be executed in the South West region of the United Kingdom.

Businesses that could benefit include large firms equipped to deliver comprehensive auditing solutions, although small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were not deemed suitable for this particular tender.
