## Summary

The Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust has recently awarded a contract for External Audit Services, falling under the auditing services category (CPV code: 79212000). The contract was awarded on 30 May 2017 and will be effective from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2020. This procurement process was classified as limited, meaning it was awarded without prior publication of a contract notice. The key delivery address for the services is located in Gateshead, NE9 6SX, England. The tender period closed on 1 June 2017.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for auditing firms, particularly those experienced in public sector audits and capable of fulfilling the requirements set by the NHS. While the awarded contract has been taken by Ernst & Young, businesses specialising in audit services can benefit from future tenders within the healthcare sector, which may arise as public bodies frequently seek comprehensive and compliant audit solutions to maintain operational effectiveness. Firms of various sizes, especially those demonstrating experience and expertise in similar contracts, would be well-positioned to compete in upcoming procurement activities.
