Provision of the Supply of Internal Audit Services

Tender description

SBHA’s principal requirement is the provision of an Internal Audit service to SBHA and its subsidiary company, SBHA Plus, as required by the Scottish Housing Regulator, Institute of Internal Auditors UK and other regulatory bodies. The internal audit work will be relevant in scope and complexity to that of its operations and strategic risks. It is expected that service provision will commence in October 2021. The contract will have an initial term of 3 years, with a further 2 x 1 year extension, at the sole discretion of SBHA and subject to satisfactory performance. The tender should be based on internal audit services of 25 days per annum, including attendance of at least 3 committee meetings per annum. There have been no internal audits carried out in 2021-22 so far, it is therefore expected that the first year’s programme will be condensed into a shorter period to ensure a sufficient programme is undertaken for inclusion in the internal audit annual report in June 2022.
