NHS Grampian - Internal Audit Services
Buyer: NHS Grampian →
What is being bought
NHS Grampian (the Authority) is one of the largest health boards in Scotland, and is responsible for providing all primary, secondary and a range of tertiary NHS services to over half a million people living in the Grampian Region of Scotland. The Authority is undertaking this procurement for the provision of internal audit services, focussing on both financial and operational processes, taking into cognisance our strategic risks and assurances needed to fulfil our requirements within the annual Governance Statement. The internal audit programme must take in to account the delegation of functions and resources by NHS Grampian to the Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray Integration Joint Boards (IJB’s) and the requirement to report on areas of audit activity to the Audit Committee’s of the IJB’s in so far as this activity relates to delegated functions and resources. Full details of the requirement are contained in the Specification of Requirements (Technical Specification) included with the Invitation to Tender at Appendix 1.
Categories
Comparable-procurement analytics
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 79. The category anchor is Accounting and auditing services (79210000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 79 | 13,741 | 4 median · 30.9 average (5,804 of 13,741 with a bid count) | 3.2 average (6,509 of 13,741 with named award suppliers) | 1 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 4 | 10.5 median · 10.5 average (2 of 4 with a bid count) | 6.5 average (2 of 4 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Price-outcome signal
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
