The procurement, classified under auditing services (CPV code 79212000), is currently in the Award stage, following the tender period which concluded on 1st April 2019. Interested parties were required to submit Expressions of Interest by 12 noon on 22nd March 2019. The services will need to be delivered in the North East of England. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in auditing services, particularly for SMEs, as the trust seeks a supplier that can closely collaborate with the existing internal audit provider, Audit One. Companies with expertise in IM&T auditing and the capability to integrate with NHS operations would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with this public procurement project can greatly enhance business visibility and contribute to growth in the health sector. ## Notice County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust (CDDFT) is seeking to engage a supplier to provide specialist IM&T Internal Audit services. The contract will run for three years, subject to satisfactory performance. At the Trust's discretion the contract may be extended, one year at a time, to a maximum of five years in total. In the past the IM&T Internal Audit service was part of the Trust's main Internal Audit provision; however, due to the specific nature of the work, the Trust wishes to tender the IM&T service separately. The successful Tenderer will be expected to work closely with the Trust's Internal Audit provider, on individual assignments as required and during the overall planning process with the potential for carrying out joint audits. The current internal audit service is provided by an NHS Consortium, Audit One.
