Conflict of interest - can I introduce a friend's company to my client

I'm in a large consulting firm and have lots of clients. A personal friend of mine recently approached me asking if I can introduce his company to one of my clients, to see if his company could provide some services to the client's company.

My friend's company is perfectly legit and I don't see why not. But are there potential conflict of interest or other pitfalls I need to be aware of?

Thanks a lot,
