## Summary

The Consortium Academy Trust has successfully awarded a contract for Internal Audit and Scrutiny Services, aimed at providing independent assurance on risk management and financial controls, with the involvement of Internal Auditors. RSM UK Risk Assurance Services LLP has been appointed as the supplier, with the contract being awarded on 17th July 2025. This contract, valued at £141,800 gross, is part of an open competition procurement method conducted below threshold. The project falls under the industry category of 'services' with a specific focus on Internal Audit Services (CPV code 79212200). It is situated in the United Kingdom, particularly appealing to organisations within the regions of UKE1 and UKE12, with a structured contract period from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2028, and the possibility of renewal up to 2030.

This tender creates avenues for business growth by providing opportunities for auditing firms, particularly those with expertise in public sector accountability and financial scrutiny, to engage in substantial projects within the educational field. Businesses that are well-suited to compete would be those capable of demonstrating strong competencies in risk assessment, benchmarking practices, and providing value for money. The procurement stage highlights an open method that encourages competition, especially favouring SMEs given that five out of six final stage bids were from such enterprises. As such, entities with proficiency in delivering high-quality audit services, alongside competitive pricing, stand to benefit from such public procurement opportunities.
