## Summary

The procurement process was initiated by The Queen Elizabeth hospital King's Lynn NHS Foundation Trust for an "Internal Audit & Counter Fraud" service. This tender, classified under the "Internal audit services" category, followed a selective procurement method via a restricted procedure above the threshold. Located in the East of England, UK, the tender reached the award stage with the contract being granted on 20 May 2025, for a term running from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2028. The procurement's total value amounts to GBP 525,020, and the process was designed not being particularly suitable for SMEs or VCSEs.
