UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) is procuring internal audit services for its organisation in the United Kingdom. The requirement is to provide independent and objective assurance, support effective governance and risk management, evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls, and identify and support improvements that help LSHTM meet its strategic objectives. The service includes internal audit and financial auditing activity. It is a single service requirement delivered for LSHTM, whose base is in London. Suppliers should be able to work with a higher education institution whose activities include research, and tailor audit work to the organisation’s governance, risk, control and strategic environment. The opportunity is classified as a services contract.

The procurement has reached tender: LSHTM invited offers through an open procedure using a competitive flexible procedure. It is a two-stage process, with first-stage tender evaluation followed by presentations at the second stage. Enquiries closed on 21 August 2026 at 12:00, and the offer deadline was 1 September 2026 at 16:00. The intended award decision date was 28 September 2026. The single lot has an estimated value of £800,000 excluding VAT and £960,000 including VAT. The initial contract runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 September 2029, with an optional two-year extension available as one year plus one year, to a maximum end date of 25 September 2031. Evaluation is 40% whole-life cost and 60% quality, covering experience, delivery, audit planning, team, specialist services, added value, security, confidentiality and social value.

This requirement suits internal audit firms and specialist assurance providers, including SMEs, with relevant experience in higher education and an understanding of LSHTM’s research focus. Strong bidders will be able to design and deliver an effective internal audit plan, provide independent assurance on governance, risk management and internal controls, and demonstrate robust service quality and performance monitoring. The buyer is also looking for a capable core service delivery team, access to specialist services, useful value-added support, and effective IT security and confidentiality arrangements. Suppliers should be prepared to explain their approach in a presentation and demonstrate how they will contribute social value alongside dependable audit delivery.
