## Summary

The Pension Protection Fund is seeking consultancy services focused on Internal Audit pertaining to Operational and IT Resilience. This contract, estimated at £34,250, is classified under project management consultancy services (CPV code: 72224000). The procurement process was conducted through a limited method, specifically a competitive quotation, concluding on 5th July 2021. The contract's duration commenced on 6th September 2021 and is set to end on 5th September 2022, with the service’s assurance frameworks aiming to provide comprehensive support for the Fund's operational resilience.

This contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in auditing and IT resilience.

## Notice

The purpose of the audit reviews is to assess the PPF's operational and IT resilience assurance frameworks separately, but also to provide a holistic view across both frameworks, to ensure that the assurance provided to the board is effectively integrated and comprehensive. We have estimated the contract will be a year in duration but will formally expire on completion of the services.
