## Summary

Bromford Flagship LiveWest Limited plans to conduct an External Quality Assessment (EQA) of their co-source internal audit services with the results reported to their Audit and Risk Committee in Autumn 2026. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with interested providers invited to submit their expressions of interest by 12 noon on Thursday 19th March 2026. The procurement falls under the services category within the internal audit sector, targeting organisations familiar with the housing sector. This one-off contract, valued at £16,000 net, will occur in Tewksbury, United Kingdom, from August to October 2026. Prospective bidders must register on the Delta eTendering portal to be considered.

This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses experienced in the housing sector, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises with the ability to demonstrate independence from previous audit service delivery. Conducting the EQA will provide significant value and insight to Bromford Flagship LiveWest, especially given this is the first such assessment since the internal audit function was established. Organisations led by a Certified Internal Auditor will find this tender particularly attractive, as it allows them to showcase expertise in a niche market with potential long-term collaboration opportunities. Interested companies must ensure they meet the specific eligibility criteria and provide the mandatory information upon expressing interest.
