## Summary

The National Audit Office is seeking a contractor for the "Financial Audit of NHS and Armed Forces Pension Schemes - 2016-2021," a tender awarded on 29 August 2018, for a total value of £756,000. This contract pertains to financial auditing services for the NHS Pension Scheme and the Armed Forces Pension Scheme, with a maximum duration of five years, originally set to begin on 1 September 2018 and concluding on 1 September 2021. The procurement was conducted via a selective method, calling off from a framework agreement, with the tender period having ended on 1 August 2018, and the service being classified under the CPV code 79212100.

This contract presents significant opportunities for larger auditing firms equipped to manage comprehensive financial audits, particularly those with experience in pension scheme evaluations. While this specific contract has been awarded to Deloitte, future audits or extensions may occur, allowing other qualified firms to compete for similar projects within public sector financial auditing. Businesses familiar with government contracts and able to navigate the complexities of financial reporting are well-positioned to seize such opportunities in this sector.

## Notice

The contract was let in September 2016 to cover the 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2018/19 audits, with an option to extend for two further years on a +1/+1 basis. Lifetime costs below assume contract extension to the maximum of 5 years to cover the 2019/20 and 2020/21 audits.
