Analysis and Recovery
This is an enhanced Analysis and Recovery (A&R) framework to replace the expired Analysis and Reconciliation framework. Having recovered more than £500 million for the NHS and wider public sector since its inception, the A&R framework aims to facilitate retrospective analytical reviews for core spend and transactions, leading to the identification and recovery of overpayments.
The A&R framework provides organisations with a legally compliant route to market. The refreshed framework comprises 10 lots covering a diverse range of specialist auditing services Each lot targets specific issues, offering user organisations the opportunity for process improvement and cost reduction in addition to potential significant financial recoveries.
Benefits of using the Framework
- All suppliers operate on a ‘no win, no fee’ basis, so the contracting organisation only pays a pre-agreed percentage fee of the money recovered
- 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
- The framework is designed to be resource-light, requiring very little time and involvement from the contracting organisation
- Suppliers take full responsibility for recovering any overpayments
- Organisations that have undertaken reviews in the past may undertake future reviews to maximise potential opportunities
- Services may be undertaken remotely, so suppliers can begin audits without physical access to trust premises
