Notice Description
Forensic auditing of commercial contracts for the purpose of cost recovery.
Lot Information
Lot 1
Forensic audit and insights are Value for Money (VFM) reviews of commercial contracts with an expected annual cash recovery of cPS1.5m. The main objective of undertaking a Forensic Audit & Insights are to identify value leakage and potential ways of unlocking this economic leakage for the business to achieve significant financial outperformance, whilst maintaining and not compromising service to our stakeholders. The audits are performed on a risk basis, with the main objective being: * To investigate Compliance against Contractual Obligations and Key Performance Indicators; * To identify, investigate and quantify off-contractual expenditure; * To identify, investigate and quantify financial wastage; and, * To identify contract terms and conditions which require strengthening, improving and creating. The Commercial Assurance team is looking to partner with external audit consultants to support the delivery of forensic audit and insights. This is done where it is deemed specialist knowledge and expertise of external markets environments is required where we lack the experience internally. An annual programme is developed by the Contract Audit Manager, based on value, risk and timing of contract expiry. The audit programme is presented to Leadership Team(s) to seek input and support and, if necessary, the plan can be flexed to incorporate contract reviews that are at special request.
Renewal: The initial contract term will be for 36 months. YWS reserves the option to extend further for 12 months based on satisfactory performance of the contract by the service providers. Further details will be sent out in the procurement documents. The estimated value is based on the initial contract term, excluding renewal. (i.e. 36 months).
