Statutory Audit and Multi-Specialty Services and Advisory Consultancy Services (Ref: 2024/S 000-002425)

This framework offers a legally compliant route for members to access a comprehensive range of audit services aligned with current and future legislation and audit best practices.

The framework includes seven lots covering external and internal audits, counter fraud services, workforce investigation services, local security management specialists, consultancy audit and financial services. It serves as a robust tool to address fraud prevention and investigation needs while conforming to NHS standards and regulations.

• Cost transparency through a clear pricing structure
• Skills and specialism matrix to support contracting authorities' desired needs, including the ability to filter by location
• Contracting organisations can call-off directly with any of the suppliers appointed on the framework at pre-determined framework rates or run a further competition inviting all suppliers within the required lot
• Procuring organisations can develop their own specification, utilising pre-developed templates, to meet their own requirements and formulate their award criteria more precisely
• A full suite of mini competition templates is available to ease the competition process, and the Hub can provide help and support members in running mini-competitions
