  • Scottish Enterprise (SE) are looking to put in place a new framework for the provision of a shared internal audit service to cover IT and digital requirements. A limited amount of non-IT audit activity supporting the existing internal resource may also be required through this framework (including for example forensic accounting, assurance audit reviews and investigatory audit reviews). SE’s Digital and IT services are delivered through a combination of internal resource and through a shared service delivery model provided by Enterprise IS (EIS). The shared service is delivered across four organisations – SE, Skills Development Scotland, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and South of Scotland Enterprise with Scottish enterprise as the lead procurement partner. One additional partner, Scottish Funding Council, will have access to the services delivered via the framework via a call-off mechanism should they require to do so. The framework is anticipated to commence on 1 April 2026 for an initial term of three years, with the option to extend for a further year. Additional information: Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in Regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.Value not stated
