## Summary

Bath Spa University procured internal audit plan services for the 2025–26 audit year, covering Year 3 of its requirement with two one-year options. The work is classified as auditing services (CPV 79212000) and is delivered for the university in the South West of England. This is a professional services requirement rather than a works or goods contract, focused on planning and delivering internal audit activity. The buying organisation is Bath Spa University, based in Bath. The requirement sits within the university’s wider audit and assurance arrangements and is intended for an organisation able to provide structured internal audit planning and related assurance services across the specified service period.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective mini-competition call-off from the CPC Audit Services framework. The tender deadline was 31 August 2025 at 12:00, and the award was made on 31 August 2025. RSM UK Risk Assurance Services LLP was selected for the full requirement at an awarded value of £83,628. The contract runs from 1 September 2025 to 31 July 2026. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published process describes the requirement as an Internal Audit Plan 25–26 service, with Year 3 delivery and one plus one option years. No separate lots or alternative awards are recorded.

For a supplier that did not win, this award indicates established demand from Bath Spa University for planned internal audit and assurance support delivered through a framework call-off and mini-competition. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need demonstrable internal audit expertise, the ability to design and deliver an annual audit plan, and capacity to support a university or similarly complex public-sector organisation. Useful strengths would include risk-based audit planning, assurance reporting, stakeholder management and the ability to work within framework procedures and public-sector governance expectations. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so a smaller specialist practice or social enterprise with relevant audit capability could be well placed, either independently or as part of a suitable delivery team.
