This initiative falls under the industry category of project-supervision services other than for construction work, with the main procurement category being services. The process involved selective procurement, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The locations covered include the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The tender stage is completed, with a contract specifically being awarded to Ernst & Young LLP on the 22nd of August 2025. The contract period is set from 22nd August 2025 to 21st August 2026, and the contract value is £250,000 GBP. This procurement presents opportunities for large businesses involved in financial modelling and assurance services, as indicated by the awarding of the contract to a large firm, Ernst & Young LLP. Given the scope and geographical reach of the service area, businesses with a strong international presence and experience in the financial services sector would be well-suited to engage in similar contracts. While the contract was not marked as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, it creates a precedent for high-capacity organisations to explore similar opportunities in collaboration with the Home Office or other government entities. ## Notice The provision of financial modelling, testing and assurance services relating to the VCAS financial models on an 'as needed' basis. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a7c12bbf-3a99-43d8-a0e8-51bb8a1f44d3 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a framework agreement | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Sep 2025 | | Submission deadline | 19 Aug 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 21 Aug 2025 | | Contract period | 21 Aug 2025 - 21 Aug 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £250,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £250,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HOME OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 4DF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ERNST & YOUNG | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79421100 - Project-supervision services other than for construction work ## Release History - 10 Sep 2025 at 08:44 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a7c12bbf-3a99-43d8-a0e8-51bb8a1f44d3 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a7c12bbf-3a99-43d8-a0e8-51bb8a1f44d3 10th September 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/79712b75-26fa-4705-8359-cb9107e3314a n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/7c3468f3-026a-4dcb-96ae-f0109dd931e6 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/56ed8b2c-da7f-44ab-8a01-f1b937ab5d6f n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f99d79f9-6a1f-4a94-99d1-7adf9bd8f58c n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/b9a109f0-5c94-41f8-b766-ca494c9f1724 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/397be074-bf6b-4bd1-96af-1e62d365b26a n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/cb24e02c-35a7-4cce-8418-92b424980ba4 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/8fbc2a30-276c-4881-9049-faf5b1ebbaf7 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/3137859b-14c4-46c5-a6f9-d72694e47348 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/231d9f28-cad9-4619-999c-5e5aad10ae74 n/a - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/90113518-fd62-4201-af4a-2dc5d6235031 n/a ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
