## Summary

The procurement process for the Specialist Technical Audit of IT Systems and Processes is being conducted by Sheffield City Council, a local authority serving a population of around 600,000 in England. The tender was published on 17 August 2020 and is classified under computer audit services within the services sector.

The contract period is set to commence on 28 September 2020 and extend until 31 August 2023, with delivery expected within the Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in IT auditing and consultancy services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that offer expertise in complex IT systems and processes, including those experienced in multi-vendor models and integrated service provisions, would be well-suited to compete. This contract allows potential suppliers to engage with a large local authority, growing their business through valuable public sector partnerships.

## Notice

Sheffield City Council is a large City Council serving a population of approximately 600,000 people. It is a single tier authority and provides a wide range of services to its residents - including housing and education. The Council has, for approximately 20 years, outsourced IT provision to an external provider. For the past 10 years, this has been Capita. From January 2020 the Council has insourced this service. A SIAM model is being used to allow it to take a multi-vendor approach to deliver its IT provision along with a core in-house service. Internal Audit has its own IT specialist for the general IT audits, but we require additional specialist input for the more occasional complex technical areas.
