## Summary

HM Treasury procured external auditing services to provide assurance over its annual allocation reporting. The requirement is for professional audit work, classified as auditing services, within the broader services category. Delivery is in London, at the area associated with postcode SW1A 2HQ. The buyer is HM Treasury, based at 1 Horse Guards Road, London. The procurement concerns assurance of annual reporting rather than the supply of goods, construction or wider financial services. It is relevant to audit firms and specialist assurance providers with the staff, systems and professional judgement needed to examine allocation reporting and provide independent external assurance to a central government department.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 10 July 2026 at 23:59. HM Treasury awarded the contract to Grant Thornton UK LLP on 24 July 2026. The awarded value is £63,959, including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 31 July 2026 to 31 July 2029. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. Evaluation was for the provision of the specified audit and external assurance services; the available information does not set out further weighted criteria.

For audit and assurance businesses, this award shows a defined requirement from HM Treasury for recurring external assurance of annual allocation reporting, delivered through a framework call-off route. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable experience of auditing annual allocation or similarly structured financial reporting, producing independent assurance for public-sector users, and managing repeat reporting cycles over a multi-year service relationship. Suppliers should also be able to operate effectively in London and meet the governance, documentation and quality expectations associated with central government work. The stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that organisations beyond the incumbent’s scale can be relevant, provided they can evidence the required audit capability and assurance quality.
