UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

University Hospitals of Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust commissioned an external quality assessment of its internal audit service. The work involved validating a self-assessment of the service’s conformance with the Global Internal Audit Standards in the UK public sector, for 360 Assurance. This is specialist audit-assurance work, rather than a general external financial audit. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was conducted below the procurement threshold, with no further procedure detail recorded. CIPFA Business Limited was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 to 30 September 2026. Its value is £15,600 excluding VAT (£18,720 including VAT). The published information does not give an award date or an evaluation basis.

For suppliers considering similar work for this NHS trust, relevant capability is the ability to assess internal audit services against the Global Internal Audit Standards as applied in the UK public sector, including validating a service’s self-assessment. Experience in external quality assessment and a sound understanding of public-sector internal audit would support a credible offer. This contract demonstrates a focused, short-duration requirement for specialist assurance expertise rather than a broad audit service.
