## Summary

The procurement process for "Internal Audit" services was organised by ST BASILS, a housing association located in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the services category, focusing on internal audit services. The tender aimed to secure suppliers to provide independent, risk-based internal audits for three years, extendable by two more years. The service would cover various operational and business functions, requiring up to five audits annually. This procurement was executed using the Crown Commercial Services framework, leveraging a limited method without a prior publication call for competition and inviting pre-vetted suppliers to tender based on the Audit & Assurance framework. The award was concluded and the successful bidder, TIAA Ltd, was contracted for £42,000 on 26 February 2026.

This tender encourages business growth opportunities for experienced audit service providers, particularly those with expertise in housing and community amenities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like TIAA Ltd could leverage such opportunities to extend their service offerings by demonstrating their audit capabilities and securing long-term contracts. Since the procurement is sourced through a structured framework involving pre-vetted suppliers, businesses meeting the framework's criteria have the advantage of competing in future tenders of similar nature, thereby expanding their client base within the public sector industry. The geographic breadth of service delivery spans regions such as UKC to UKK, offering extensive reach for suppliers with national coverage.
