Provision of Internal Audit Services

We are conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement exercise to seek a strategic partner to deliver Internal Audit Services. We are looking for a provider who will work collaboratively with our Executive team and Board of Governors (/Audit Committee) to support the on-going development and embedding of a value-adding assurance framework—one that goes beyond compliance to actively strengthen our governance, risk management and operational effectiveness. Initially we see this as an opportunity to shape a programme of around nine reviews annually, tailored to the University's evolving strategic priorities. We are open to suggestions of approaches that you deliver elsewhere for dynamic and ambitious organisations that seeks to obtain value from all of its partner engagements. Further information relating to this PME opportunity are available via our Delta eSourcing platform: https://login.bipsolutions.com/casDelta/login?service=https%3A%2F%2Fneupc.delta-esourcing.com%2Fdelta%2Fj_spring_cas_security_check Access Code: MY3RTCB5U3 The value referenced in relation to this pre-market engagement is indicative only and does not represent a commitment to any specific level of expenditure. There are a number of questions in the e-tendering portal that we require interested parties to respond to. A tender exercise will follow in accordance with Northumbria's Financial Regulations and shortlisted suppliers will be invited to submit a bid.
