## Summary

Bristol City Council has initiated a procurement process for the provision of IT Audit Services for the fiscal year 2017/18, classified under statutory audit services. This open tender procedure concluded on September 29, 2017, and the awarded contract, valued at £38,450, commenced on October 1, 2017, and is set to end on March 31, 2019. The services will primarily be delivered in the South West region of the United Kingdom, focusing on enhancing internal control, risk management, and governance processes within the Council.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in IT auditing and internal control systems, particularly those capable of transferring knowledge to enhance the Council's existing capabilities. Companies specialising in statutory audit services with a strong technical background would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future. Engaging in such tenders can facilitate valuable partnerships with public sector organisations and expand market reach in the consultancy services sector.

## Notice

Under the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015, the Council is statutorily required to have an effective internal audit of its internal control, risk management and governance processes. This encompasses all operations of the Council including the arrangements for managing the information and information systems the Council uses in delivering its objectives and services. Public Sector Internal Audit Standards 2015 require that work is conducted by those with the necessary skills. An Audit Service is required complete audit reviews requiring higher level technical expertise and experience. It is expected that the expert(s) will transfer knowledge/skills to our own Service thus enhancing our practical experience of technical IT audit matters.
