## Summary

Leeds Arts University bought internal audit services under a framework call-off. The requirement covers the university’s internal audit function, providing independent review and assurance services to support its governance, risk management and control arrangements. The buying organisation is Leeds Arts University, based at Blenheim Walk, Leeds. The service is categorised as internal audit services (CPV 79212200) and falls within the services category. The stated delivery scope covers the United Kingdom and international locations, including the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is therefore relevant to audit firms and specialist assurance providers able to support a higher education organisation across a broad geographical area.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete; it was a framework call-off rather than a live opportunity. The award was made to TIAA Limited on 22 July 2026. The awarded value is £64,030. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2029. The procurement method is recorded as “Other” and the process was conducted through the framework. Leeds Arts University identified internal audit services as the requirement, with the tender closing on 22 July 2026. TIAA Limited is the selected supplier and the award is active. The opportunity was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award shows Leeds Arts University purchases outsourced internal audit support through a framework call-off, with a multi-year requirement and potential delivery across the UK and overseas locations. A credible competitor would need a structured internal audit service capable of operating independently for a higher education institution, reviewing governance, risk and controls and providing clear assurance to university decision-makers. Relevant firms are likely to need sufficient audit capacity for sustained service delivery, appropriate professional expertise and experience of complex organisations with geographically dispersed activities. The incumbent is TIAA Limited, identified as an SME, indicating that specialist audit providers can compete for this type of requirement despite the procurement being recorded as unsuitable for SMEs.
