Lot Information

Internal Audit

The London Borough of Barnet and a lead group of local authorities seek a high-quality internal audit service, aligned to the Global Internal Audit Standards, as a vital part of their corporate governance arrangements. Internal audit provides an independent and objective assessment that key risks are being effectively managed across the organisation, whether services are being delivered in-house, are outsourced or are delivered via alternative delivery models. Senior management and the respective Audit Committees are key stakeholders with whom the internal audit service liaise with in order to issue their assurance reports. All lead authorities see that the Internal Audit service has a proactive role in respect of enabling the organisation to deliver change whilst being mindful of risk and having the right controls in place.

Renewal: Contract commences 1 April 2026 for an initial 3 year term with the option to extend for a further 5 years

Advisory Services

The successful tenderer(s) will provide appropriate resources to the authorities accessing Advisory Services (Cross Council Assurance services) as required for other advisory pieces of work. This could range from helping an authority develop efficiency plans to carrying out independent investigations (including anti-fraud) or supporting consultancy projects of strategic importance.

Renewal: At the end of the initial three-year period (March 2029), the Authority will conduct a review of supplier engagement through the framework. This review will consider both pricing and performance to determine whether the framework should be opened to extension and enable additional supplier entrants
