Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow has successfully awarded the PURCH2583 Framework Agreement for the Provision of Internal Audit Services to KPMG. This procurement process, described under the classification code 79212200, involves the education sector and is geographically located in the UKM82 region. Initially launched as a tender on 18 March 2025, the open procedure was governed by the principles outlined in the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The final contract, signed on 28 August 2025, is valued at £1,071,577 and will provide internal audit services over a duration of 1,440 days, with a 3-year fixed period and an optional 12-month extension. Key criteria in awarding the contract included quality measures related to service delivery and management, accounting for 15% of decisions made, and price considerations at 10%.

This tender presents growth opportunities for firms with robust experience in delivering internal audit services, particularly those familiar with the needs and operational intricacies of educational institutions. Large companies like KPMG have already shown interest and succeeded due to their significant capacity and offered expertise. Nonetheless, the framework supports diverse business participation by highlighting opportunities for SMEs and the third sector to engage through subcontracting. Companies capable of meeting stringent public and professional liability insurance requirements will find this tender aligns with their service offerings, whilst benefiting from potential community involvement in line with the procurement's outlined community benefits requirement, which includes vocational training, equality initiatives, and making subcontracting opportunities accessible to smaller businesses.
