## Summary

The Hanover (Scotland) Housing Association is seeking to procure Internal Audit Services through an open tender process. This initiative falls under the housing and community amenities sector and is located in Edinburgh, UK. The procurement process is currently complete, with the contract having been awarded on 25 February 2019 to TIAA Ltd for a total value of £46,440. Interested parties should note that the award notice contains detailed descriptions of the services required, and potential suppliers can access the full documentation via the provided award notice link.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in audit and accountancy services, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with relevant certifications, such as UKAS accreditation. Firms capable of demonstrating robust internal control systems and a strong track record in delivering similar auditing services to public sector entities or registered social landlords in Scotland would particularly excel in this competitive environment. Additionally, as this contract spans multiple years, the successful bidder may anticipate further engagements in the future, enhancing their business growth prospects.

## Notice

The internal audit service provider will be responsible for providing an objective, independent appraisal of all of Hanover's activities, financial and otherwise. They will have a role in advising and reporting to management, the chief executive and the Board providing them with assurance on the arrangements for risk management, control and governance.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The scope of internal audit work should cover all operational and management controls and should provide an opinion on the whole system. Any audit should also examine the arrangements by which policy decisions are made, monitored and reviewed and any related risks identified. The internal auditor will be required to give an annual opinion to the Board on the adequacy and effectiveness of the arrangements for risk management, control and governance and for economy, efficiency and effectiveness (value for money) within HSHA, and the extent to which these arrangements can be relied upon.

Renewal: The initial 3 year contract may be extended for a further 2 years.
