Lot Information
Lot 1
ASW Assurance is the largest provider of specialist internal audit, assurance and consultancy services to NHS healthcare organisations in the South West. We are dedicated to helping improve governance and ultimately the quality and safety of patient care. What sets us apart is that everything we do is geared towards developing and improving the governance arrangements of the organisations we work with. In addition to core audits, high level assurance and cross organisational work is included as standard in our workplans:
Specialised assurance services
Cross organisational reviews of integration of services and partnerships
Health Economy shared assurance reviews e.g. STP assurance in Bristol, Devon and Cornwall
We deliver assurance that adds value and enables our clients to better focus on outcomes. Our clients regularly tell us that our services are well established and valued.
1.1 The Authority is looking for a comprehensive cloud based Audit Management System (AMS). The AMS should include, at a minimum, the following functionality:
Produce working papers - document management and tracking.
Allow us to record time inside the AMS, rather than outside - linking time/audit progress/performance in one place.
Automated audit planning and scheduling, so we can plan audit work in terms of prioritisation, allocation and value.
Easy data extraction, and performance information, as well as analytics to provide insight on audit data.
Present live, interactive dashboards for real-time reporting (dashboards to include audit coverage, plan position, assurance ratings etc.).
Flexibility, enabling us to develop functionality so that we remain fit for the future.
A quality review process.
Integration with Microsoft applications - so we can download/upload information from Microsoft to the AMS and vice versa.
Be accessible to our clients, ideally with a range of customisable views and the ability for clients to upload evidence/submit documentation on request, set by multi-layer access privileges.
The scope would include requisite training and implementation support. We are looking for a system to eliminate our current manual processes to improve productivity, bring a disciplined approach to the audit processes, track staff time, evaluate risks, improve reporting capabilities, and enhance follow up of audit recommendations. The AMS should be a Commercial off the shelf (COTS) solution, but include the flexibility for us to develop the functionality ensuring we remain fit for the future.
1.2 The Authority is looking to contract with an established supplier of AMS with a proven track record of providing these systems to internal audit services and to have maintenance and support resources available.
Renewal: Two (2) Years
