## Summary

Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is seeking external audit services for the Trust and DSFS. The work is statutory auditing, covering the organisations’ external audit requirements. The buyer is the hospital trust, based in Chesterfield. The procurement is categorised as a service, with the audit services classified under CPV 79212300. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the published location information does not identify a specific town or site for the work.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 11 December 2026 at 12:00, and the submission deadline was 18 December 2026 at 17:00. The stated contract period runs from 31 August 2027 to 30 August 2030, with a possible extension to 30 August 2032; the renewal description is 3+2. The estimated value is £658,885 excluding VAT (£790,662 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 75% on technical and quality and 25% on price. Economic selection requirements refer to the Audit Services for Health Framework Agreement SBS10517, while technical selection requirements are set out in Annex B1.

This opportunity is suited to external audit providers with the capability and capacity to deliver statutory audit services for a hospital trust and DSFS. The evaluation places substantially greater weight on technical and quality considerations than on price, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate a strong delivery approach and relevant audit expertise. Economic and technical selection requirements apply: the economic requirements are linked to the Audit Services for Health Framework Agreement SBS10517, and the technical requirements are described in Annex B1. Providers that can meet these framework-related economic requirements and the technical criteria, and support a multi-year audit engagement with a potential extension, are best placed to compete.
