## Summary

The NHS South West - Acutes has successfully completed a procurement process for the provision of an Internal Audit and Assurance Service for One Gloucestershire. This project was initiated as a further competition under the Crown Commercial Service Framework RM6188, targeting auditing services within the healthcare sector. The contract was awarded to BDO LLP on 15 March 2022, with a total contract value of £1,100,100, and covers the period from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2027. The project is based in the South West region of England, with individual contract allocations to three NHS authorities, namely Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust, and NHS Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group. The tendering process was concluded by 4 February 2022.

This tender creates significant opportunities for businesses within the auditing and assurance sector, particularly those that specialise in healthcare services. Companies that provide internal audit services, corporate governance rating services, or related consultancy services would find this contract particularly relevant. The collaborative nature of the procurement allows smaller enterprises, especially SMEs (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises), to engage effectively, fostering growth and establishing long-term relationships within the NHS framework in Gloucestershire.

## Notice

This procurement was undertaken as a further competition utilising the Crown Commercial Service Framework Ref RM6188 Audit & Assurance Services (A&AS) - Lot 1 Internal Audit and Assurance. The NHS Authorities within One Gloucestershire have appointed a comprehensive internal audit and assurance service that will assist the Authorities in meeting their roles and responsibilities, whilst maintaining the necessary level of professional independence. For the avoidance of doubt, the Authorities undertook a collaborative exercise to appoint a single provider, via individual contracts, to provide standardisation of these services within the Gloucestershire region. The three NHS Authority's contracting as One Gloucestershire under this collaborative exercise are: - NHS Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (GCCG) - Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust (GHC) - Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (GHFT)
