## Summary

Sanctuary Housing Association, located at Chamber Court, Castle Street, Worcester, has completed the procurement process for external audit services within the accounting and auditing industry category. The procurement process was conducted through a negotiated method without the publication of a contract notice, due to technical complexities cited under Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This process culminated in an award to KPMG LLP on 17 February 2025. The contract spans a term of three years, structured as an initial two-year term with the possibility of a one-year extension. The awarded contract aims to address the organisation's technical requirements following recent major acquisitions, ensuring streamlined accounting operations.

This tender presents substantial business opportunities, particularly for firms specialising in audit and accounting services, who can match the technical specifications due to the nature of the procurement method. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in these areas may not be suited due to the high technical requirements mentioned. Nonetheless, the procurement underlines the importance of competitive positioning for future opportunities, where similar technical demands might arise. Companies looking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts can draw significant insights and prepare for potential engagements with organisations such as Sanctuary Housing Association.
