Award of the internal audit contract by the Director of Resources as approved under the procurement plan.
That the Internal Audit Services contract due to commence on 1 April 2018 be awarded by the Director of Resources to the re-tendered existing framework agreement as set out in Annexe A of the Head of Audit and Risk Management’s report.
To enable the continuation of a high quality and resilient internal audit service, delivering the best value for money.
Given the level of spend, the internal audit services had to be retendered under the Public Contract Regulations 2015. This will be achieved by utilising the new framework agreement which has been tendered in accordance with these procurement regulations. The Council could have chosen to carry out its own tendering exercise but would then not have benefited from the favourable rates achieved through the economies of scale under the framework agreement.
