What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Bidder is required to deliver twelve risk based audits to the corporate centre and directorates. A list of the 12 risk based audits will be provided after the appointment of the successful bidder, however, we reserve the right to make substitutions where required. We expect the average number of days for each audit to be approximately 20.

These audits will be carried out during 2025/26, with all final reports cleared by the Corporate Directors and being delivered to the Internal Audit Manager within 12 months after the start date of this contract. We expect that these audits will be spread throughout the year and we will work with the successful bidder to agree a suitable timetable.

  • Quality: 30%
  • Social Value: 10%
  • Price: 60%
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
