## Summary

Broadland Housing Association Limited is procuring internal audit services on behalf of the Independent East consortium. The requirement is for one consultant to provide a single collaborative assurance model across five Independent East organisations, using separate call-off contracts where required. The service is intended to coordinate risk-based assurance, shared intelligence, thematic learning and benchmarking, while preserving each organisation’s independent governance, accountability and annual audit opinion. It covers auditing services (CPV 79212000) and is a professional services opportunity. The arrangement is designed to combine the organisations’ purchasing power with coordinated delivery and demonstrable value for money. The buyer is based in Norwich, and the service will support the participating organisations collectively across the consortium.

The procurement reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a single-stage open competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. It is a single-lot closed framework agreement, with one consultant appointed and call-off contracts awarded without reopening competition. The framework’s gross estimated value is £700,000. Enquiries had to be submitted by 2 October 2026 at 12:00, and tenders by 9 October 2026 at 12:00. The planned award period ended on 2 November 2026 at 23:59. The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031. Evaluation is weighted 50% quality for the Five Es written submission, 30% price and 20% quality for interview and presentation. The tender assesses exclusion grounds, minimum economic and financial standing, and minimum insurance requirements.

This opportunity suits internal audit consultancies able to deliver a coordinated assurance service for several organisations through one framework and separate call-offs. Strong candidates will be able to provide risk-based internal audit, combine findings and intelligence across organisational boundaries, support thematic learning and produce meaningful benchmarking. They should also be capable of working within distinct governance and accountability arrangements while contributing to each member’s annual audit opinion. The evaluation places most weight on the written quality submission and also tests quality through an interview and presentation, so suppliers need a clear delivery model and the ability to explain it convincingly. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while bidders must meet minimum economic and financial standing and insurance requirements.
