Tender information last checkedLast checked 5 Oct 2026, 07:59.

Opportunity overview

The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement exercise is to identify a strategic partner to deliver Internal Audit Services. The provider will conduct reviews across multiple areas of the University. 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.
