## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire is spearheading a procurement process for the provision of Regional Internal Audit Services. The procurement falls under the services category, with relevant classifications such as internal audit and auditing services. The initial planning phase began on 24 April 2026, with subsequent engagement activities scheduled until 8 May 2026. Located in Derbyshire, the framework agreement will be available for several organisations across different regions, including Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Northamptonshire, and their respective Fire and Rescue Authorities. The contract is set to commence on 12 April 2027 and is expected to run until 11 April 2030, with provisions for possible renewal until 11 April 2031. The procurement process is currently at the planning stage, inviting preliminary market engagement to help formulate a comprehensive business case.

This procurement opportunity is ripe for businesses specialising in auditing and internal audit services, particularly those that can operate at both regional and local government levels. It offers an expansive potential for service providers to enter a framework agreement, allowing multiple organisations to place call-offs, thus promising consistent business over a prolonged period. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary sector organisations (VCSEs), are encouraged to participate, fostering diversity in competition and growth. The opportunity to engage and provide insights during the planning stage could offer competitive advantages to businesses keen on shaping future service delivery to regulatory bodies across the specified regions.
