Provision of an Internal Audit and Assurance Service for One Gloucestershire

This procurement was undertaken as a further competition utilising the Crown Commercial Service Framework Ref RM6188 Audit & Assurance Services (A&AS) - Lot 1 Internal Audit and Assurance. The NHS Authorities within One Gloucestershire have appointed a comprehensive internal audit and assurance service that will assist the Authorities in meeting their roles and responsibilities, whilst maintaining the necessary level of professional independence. For the avoidance of doubt, the Authorities undertook a collaborative exercise to appoint a single provider, via individual contracts, to provide standardisation of these services within the Gloucestershire region.

The three NHS Authority's contracting as One Gloucestershire under this collaborative exercise are:

• NHS Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group (GCCG)
• Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust (GHC)
• Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (GHFT)
