In plain English

South Norfolk Council wants to hire an internal audit firm to check how well its services are run and managed, and to advise on improvements. The work will also cover investigations into fraud or whistleblowing concerns, and will serve several councils and the Broads Authority from April 2027. The estimated value is £2,500,000.

What the buyer wants

• Deliver risk-based assurance audits and advisory work • Carry out investigations where a whistleblowing concern or fraud matter arises • Provide the service to South Norfolk Council, the City, Borough and District Councils of Norwich and Norfolk, and the Broads Authority from April 2027

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice asks for an experienced and knowledgeable provider but does not list specific qualifications or minimum turnover, so the £2,500,000 value and the multi-authority scope are the most likely barriers for a small business without a track record of large public sector audit contracts.

Always check the tender documents.
