Notice Title

Provision of IT Audit and General Internal Audit Support

Notice Description

Angus and Dundee City Councils (Angus and Dundee) are seeking IT audit and General audit support from an external provider for their in-house Internal Audit teams to cover financial years 2023/24 to 2026/27. The teams currently operate independently of each other within each council and call-off from the contract will be arranged separately with each team.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Anticipated input: In Angus we anticipate a requirement of 25 - 30 days each year for IT audit, with additional days potentially required on an ad-hoc basis for general internal audit support in exceptional circumstances. In Dundee we anticipate a requirement of 25 - 35 days each year for IT Audit. General audit reviews are also required once each during the contract term for Risk Management and Insurance, with additional general audit days potentially required on an ad-hoc basis in exceptional circumstances. Due to vacancies in both teams there is a requirement for two additional IT Audits (Dundee) and there may be additional general audit reviews (both) in the period before April 2024.
