Description
Initial period of three (3) years commencing 1 April 2026, with the option to extend for up to two (2) additional one-year periods (3 + 1 + 1). If awarded to a new supplier, the contract will commence on 5 January 2026 for three (3) years and three (3) months, plus the same extension options. This early start allows time for the supplier to prepare and present the three-year audit strategy and annual plan for 2026/27 at the February Audit and Risk Committee. Delivery of the audit programme will begin 1 April 2026. Any revised terms of engagement will be agreed at the point of exercising an extension option.
