The Council is tendering for provision of an internal audit services (single supplier) framework for the London Borough of Croydon and for shared services work at other public sector organisations.
Tender documents are available through the Council e-procurement portal at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/croydontenders/aspx/Home
The internal audit service will be based on the Institute of Internal Auditor’s (IIA) Global Internal Audit Standards (GIAS) subject to the Application Note Global Internal Audit Standards in the UK Public Sector (Application Note) and the CIPFA Code of Practice for the Governance of Internal Audit in UK Local Government (Code of Practice).

The contractor will be responsible for ensuring that Croydon Council meets all of the requirements as set out in the tender documents. All areas of Croydon Council’s activities should be audited on a risk based approach and/or at frequencies set out by Croydon Council.
