Summary of the contracting process

Lanarkshire Housing Association Limited procured an internal audit service for its housing association operations. The work covers critical review of the Association’s functions, continuous improvement, internal controls and risk management, including support for compliance with the requirements of the Scottish Housing Regulator and the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator. The service is delivered in Motherwell. This is a professional audit and assurance services opportunity, classified under CPV 79212200, with the specific service classification 79212000. The requirement relates to one lot and is intended to match the scope and complexity of the Association’s operations. The buyer also acts as a central purchasing body.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Three electronic bids were received, all from small and medium-sized enterprises. Wbg Services LLP was awarded the contract, which was signed on 23 April 2025 for £33,240. The service period runs from April 2025 to March 2028, with an option for two further years on a rolling one-year basis. The tender deadline was 17 January 2025 at 12:00, and bids were opened on 20 January 2025 at 09:00. Suppliers were assessed against suitability and technical criteria; delivery was reserved to a particular profession. Bidders had to provide staff names and qualifications, and variants were not allowed.

This requirement demonstrates recurring demand from a Scottish registered social landlord for an internal audit provider able to work at the scale and complexity of housing association operations. Credible competitors would need professional audit capability covering governance, internal controls, risk management and continuous improvement, with a practical understanding of regulatory assurance. Experience of helping a housing association satisfy Scottish Housing Regulator requirements would be directly relevant, as would familiarity with charity regulation and the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator. A strong future supplier would be able to provide appropriately qualified named staff, apply a self-assessment and risk-based approach, and review controls as the Association’s activities change. The opportunity also suits an SME audit or assurance practice.
