UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Golden Lane Housing Limited procured internal auditing services to support its governance, assurance and financial oversight. The requirement covers accounting, auditing and fiscal services, with the work delivered in the North West of England. The buyer is based in Manchester and operates as a public authority. The procurement concerns a single service requirement rather than separate work packages, so it is most relevant to firms providing internal audit support to housing organisations or comparable public-sector bodies. Suppliers with teams able to assess controls, processes, risk management and financial governance would fit the broad service category described. The selected provider is RSM UK Risk Assurance Services LLP, a large UK professional services firm, indicating that the requirement was suitable for an established audit and risk assurance provider.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to RSM UK Risk Assurance Services LLP. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold without competition. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026, with delivery running from 17 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £49,611 excluding VAT and £59,533.20 including VAT. Golden Lane Housing Limited selected the supplier for a one-year internal audit services requirement, with the stated term ending on 31 March 2027. The procurement used one lot, which is complete, and the award is active. The published information identifies accounting, auditing and fiscal services as the relevant classification, with the award covering the whole requirement.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a useful indication of Golden Lane Housing Limited’s demand for externally delivered internal audit and risk assurance services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a substantial professional audit capability, with experience of planning and delivering internal audits for a regulated or publicly accountable housing organisation. Relevant strengths would include financial and operational audit, control testing, risk-based assurance, governance review and clear reporting to senior management or board-level committees. The selected supplier’s profile as a large risk assurance firm suggests that dependable delivery capacity, a suitably experienced audit team and the ability to manage a complete service requirement are important. Firms offering comparable accounting, auditing and fiscal expertise should monitor this buyer’s future assurance needs.
