## Summary

Mid Sussex District Council has completed the procurement process for internal audit services, awarding the contract to FORVIS MAZARS LLP. The procurement, classified under the CPV code 79212000 for auditing services, was conducted through a selective call-off from the Croydon Council Audit Services Framework Agreement. The contract, valued at £150,000, will span from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2026, covering audit services within the South East region of England. The tendering process ended on 1 March 2024, with the award finalised on 31 March 2024 and published on 10 September 2024.

This tender offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly for large audit firms with experience in the public sector audit standards and internal control systems. The scope of work will require firms to provide assurances on the effectiveness of various internal control systems, making it an attractive engagement for well-established auditing firms seeking to expand their portfolio within the public sector. Although the contract stipulates that it is not expressly suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, it remains a critical opportunity for experienced audit providers to secure a substantial engagement with Mid Sussex District Council.

## Notice

The Council has made a direct award on Croydon Council Audit Services Framework Agreement OJ S 243/2017 19/12/2017 (this Framework was extended so this contract has been called off during the Framework's duration).
