Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for internal audit services has been conducted by the Post Office, with the contract titled "Internal Audit - Replacement Notice" being awarded to Deloitte LLP. The process falls under the industry category of internal audit services and is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement was initiated through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, and the contract is set to run from 30th November 2022 to 29th November 2027. With a procurement stage marked as complete, the contract value stands at £3,500,000, awarded on 15th September 2022 and published on 1st December 2024.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for large enterprises with internal audit capabilities, as mid-sized and small enterprises are flagged as unsuitable. Deloitte LLP, a large-scale provider, has already secured the award, suggesting significant competition for similar contracts. Businesses specialising in audit services can leverage such opportunities provided by public sector organisations like the Post Office, allowing them to expand their portfolio and enter long-term service agreements in key markets within the UK.
