## Summary

The University of Exeter is seeking to appoint an Internal Auditor through an open tender process for the Provision of Internal Audit Services. This procurement is classified under auditing services, with a total contract value of £600,000, and includes two lots: general internal audit services and specialist IT internal audit services.

The procurement is based in Exeter, England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the auditing sector, particularly those with expertise in internal and financial audit services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate, especially if they have the capability to bid for either of the two lots. Businesses that can demonstrate a firm understanding of risk management in line with the University’s strategic objectives will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice
