## Summary

Eastlight Community Homes, a public authority operating within the sub-central government sector in the United Kingdom, has completed an open procurement process for the provision of internal audit services. The contract, with a gross value of £300,000, was awarded to RSM UK Risk Assurance Services LLP. This procurement, identified as tender 0782, sought to secure a full-service internal audit provider to evaluate governance, risk management, and internal controls within Eastlight. The procurement process commenced with a tender stage, where submissions were accepted until 8th August 2025, and concluded with the award phase on 26th November 2025. The contract, beginning on 5th January 2026 and running until 31st March 2029, includes the option for two additional one-year renewals, subject to performance and agreement.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for firms in the auditing services industry to demonstrate expertise in governance, risk, and internal controls. While the contract was awarded to a large firm, the tender process was open to SMEs and VCSEs, suggesting potential for diverse business participation. Companies with robust auditing capabilities, particularly those experienced in risk-based assessment and improvement of internal processes, would find such opportunities beneficial for expanding their service portfolios and establishing relationships with public sector clients such as Eastlight Community Homes.

## Notice

Eastlight is seeking a full-service internal audit provider who will deliver assurance to the Board and Senior Management on the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and internal controls (GRC). The provider should adopt a risk-based approach to evaluate and enhance Eastlight's internal systems and processes.
