UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Coastline Housing Limited procured internal audit services to support its housing organisation. The requirement covers the provision of internal audit work for Coastline Housing, whose base is in Redruth, Cornwall. This is a professional business assurance and financial governance service rather than a construction, maintenance or housing-development contract. The procurement is relevant to accountancy practices, internal audit specialists and professional services firms with the capacity to deliver audit planning, testing, reporting and assurance activities for a housing provider. The appointed supplier is based in Exeter, indicating that the service can be delivered by a firm operating across the South West. The requirement is focused on internal audit services, classified under CPV 79212200, and was structured as a single requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. Bishop Fleming LLP was selected as the supplier on 18 March 2026. The contract value is £47,130 gross. The signed contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, while the award record gives a service period from 30 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Coastline Housing Limited is the buyer and the requirement was treated as one completed lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The route used was a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, so this procurement did not involve an open invitation for competing tenders or a published evaluation contest.

This award demonstrates a defined demand for outsourced internal audit services from a housing provider in the South West. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need a strong internal audit and assurance practice, with staff able to plan and carry out risk-based reviews, assess controls, document findings and produce reports that senior housing-sector decision-makers can use. Relevant experience of housing organisations, regulated environments, public-sector governance and financial controls would help establish credibility. Firms should also be able to provide dependable delivery across the contract period, maintain appropriate quality assurance and communicate clearly with the buyer. Bishop Fleming LLP is a large professional services firm, so competitors should consider whether they can match that level of capacity while offering suitably experienced audit personnel.
