## Summary

Bath Spa University procured internal audit plan services for its 2026–27 audit programme. The requirement covers auditing services, classified under CPV 79212000, delivered for the university in the South West of England. This is a professional services contract focused on planning and providing internal audit activity rather than construction, supplies or general consultancy. The buyer is Bath Spa University, based in Bath. The procurement forms part of the university’s arrangements for obtaining external internal-audit expertise and supports its governance, risk management and assurance needs during the relevant audit year. It is therefore most relevant to firms providing internal audit services to higher education institutions or other public-sector organisations in the South West.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. Bath Spa University selected RSM UK Risk Assurance Services LLP on 31 July 2026 following a selective framework call-off mini-competition under the CPC Audit Services framework. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 12:00. The awarded value is £80,702.40. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement was for services and was conducted through a call-off from a framework agreement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. RSM UK Risk Assurance Services LLP is the awarded supplier.

For firms that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates a defined requirement from Bath Spa University for externally delivered internal audit services over a full audit year, with a value in the tens of thousands of pounds. A credible future competitor would need a strong internal-audit practice able to plan and deliver assurance work for a university, understand public-sector governance and risk environments, and operate through a framework call-off mini-competition. The requirement is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller specialist providers may be commercially relevant alongside larger assurance firms. Businesses should be able to evidence relevant audit capability, dependable delivery capacity and experience producing clear assurance outputs for senior university or public-sector decision-makers.
