Choice Housing Ireland Limited, a sub-central government authority based in Belfast, has successfully awarded a contract for internal audit services under the tender titled "PRN25084 Internal Audit Services." This procurement process, classified under auditing services within Northern Irish devolved regulations, involved open competition below the threshold value and follows the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. The contract was awarded to TIAA Limited, covering services from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, with options for a further two-year extension, subject to mutual agreement. The milestone for signing the agreement is scheduled for 3rd March 2026. The total gross value of the award amounts to £198,487 GBP.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in auditing services, financial auditing, statutory audit, accounting review, and internal audit services. Companies that excel in providing such services, particularly large-scale or established auditing firms, will find this sector beneficial given the contract’s extended duration and possibility for renewal. With the contract valuing quality heavily (at 70%), businesses focused on high-quality internal controls and management reporting systems will be well-positioned to succeed in similar tenders in the future. This opportunity underscores the importance of strong proposals with sound financial packages to meet both quality and pricing criteria.
