2026-11-03

This is a Pre-Market Engagement Notice for the University of Lincoln Internal Audit Services. The current contract runs until the 31 July 2026. Prior to launching any future formal tender process, the University is undertaking this market engagement exercise to hold preliminary conversations with interested suppliers about this opportunity. The core services provided under the University Internal Audit service in summary include, the development and delivery of an internal audit strategy and plan, advice on governance, risk management and internal controls, incorporating proactive knowledge and best practice, providing recommendations on optimising value for money outcomes and a year end audit report and audit opinion to senior management, the Board of Governors and the Office for Students. The University operates within a rapidly evolving Higher Education landscape, facing sector wide pressures including financial sustainability challenges, cyber security maturity, volatility in student recruitment, increasing regulatory expectations from the Office for Students, and rising demands around data quality, governance, and organisational resilience. Hence, interested suppliers will need to demonstrate that they have the breadth of specialisms to provide an effective internal audit provision across this range of risk areas. Demonstrating capabilities and added value across the breadth of audit provision will be a key area of assessment in the subsequent procurement exercise.
