Summary of the contracting process

The Hyde Group procured interim internal audit and assurance services to maintain continuity while it undertook a competitive procurement for its longer-term internal audit requirement. The work covers internal audit and assurance services for the housing group, with delivery across England. This is professional audit and assurance work for suppliers able to support an organisation’s internal audit function during an interim period.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MENZIES LLP. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £150,000 excluding VAT (£180,000 including VAT). Hyde used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The procurement was arranged as a single lot. Hyde may order additional internal audit and assurance services during the contract term, but the volume is not guaranteed and depends on business requirements. The stated purpose was to maintain service continuity while Hyde conducted a competitive procurement for its longer-term internal audit requirement.

This award demonstrates demand at The Hyde Group for internal audit and assurance support, including interim cover to maintain continuity while a longer-term requirement is competitively procured. Suppliers with the capability to deliver internal audit and assurance services across a large housing group would be relevant when similar work returns to market. Credible competitors should be able to provide dependable continuity and respond to changing business requirements; the contract allows additional services to be ordered, although the volume is not guaranteed. The route used for this interim contract was a direct award, so it does not establish the evaluation criteria or capabilities Hyde will apply in a future competition.
