## Summary

The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has completed the award phase for its procurement titled "Forensic Accounting Services". This tender falls under the Accounting and Auditing services industry category and is located in London, specifically at the postal code SW1P4DF. The procurement method used was a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded on 13th March 2025, and it commenced on 17th March 2025, continuing until 16th March 2027. The total contracted value amounts to GBP 3,200,000.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in forensic accounting consultancy to engage in a high-value project supporting payment plan policy. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to compete, as the procurement suitability criteria have been designed with them in mind. Deloitte LLP, a large-scale supplier, was awarded the contract but had to avoid conflicts with certain developers, resulting in the distribution of three separate contracts. This scenario suggests that other qualified firms may find similar opportunities within the scope of this arrangement.

## Notice

Forensic accounting consultancy support is required to support the delivery of a payment plan policy. This procurement resulted in three separate contracts being awarded, as the top ranked supplier had conflicts with a number of developers on which the services would be carried out. This award process was set out within the ITT documents.
