The House of Commons service is separate from, but works closely with, that for the House of Lords. It also works closely with the National Audit Office, who are appointed to undertake the external audit of both the Administration and Members Estimates. The requirement is for the provision of support to the in house Internal Audit Service, primarily in the provision of specialist audit services, but also in the support and development of the Internal Audit Service in line with the House's overall objective for services to be a model of good practice and innovation. More particularly the support is envisaged to be broken down into the following elements: Provision of Specialist ICT audit services Provision of Counter Fraud Services Provision of "consulting" services Lot 2 Will be for Audit Services for Capital Projects and Programmes.
