Summary of the contracting process

Chesterfield College procured audit and financial services, centred on internal audit and including statutory audit services. The requirement is for an external provider to support the college’s audit arrangements and related financial assurance activities. The buying organisation is Chesterfield College, based on Infirmary Road in Chesterfield, England. The procurement is categorised as services and the work is associated with the college rather than a construction or goods supply project. The published scope identifies internal audit services as the main requirement, with statutory audit services as an additional element. This is relevant to audit practices and professional services firms that advise or deliver assurance work for further education institutions.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure through the CPC framework. The contract was awarded to ICCA Education Training and Skills on 6 August 2026. The awarded value is £45,900, compared with an estimated procurement value of £60,000. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026. Chesterfield College identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active and covers the internal audit and statutory audit services described in the requirement. The selected supplier is based in Birmingham.

This award provides a clear indication of Chesterfield College’s demand for outsourced internal audit and statutory audit capability over a multi-year period. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable expertise in internal audit, statutory audit and financial assurance, with the capacity to support a further education college consistently across the contract term. Firms should be able to structure a reliable audit programme, deliver clear findings and recommendations, and manage ongoing engagement with college stakeholders. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, so specialist audit practices may be well placed to compete without the scale of a large national firm, provided they can offer the required breadth across internal and statutory audit services.
