Pre-Market Engagement – Provision of Internal Audit Services

Bedford College is undertaking a pre-market engagement (PME) exercise ahead of a planned procurement for the provision of internal audit services. The purpose of this engagement is to inform potential providers of the College's requirements, gather market feedback on the proposed scope and approach, and help shape a procurement process that secures a high-quality and cost-effective service. The anticipated scope includes the delivery of a risk-based internal audit service across the College and its subsidiaries, annual audit planning, reporting to the Audit Committee, and advisory support as required. This engagement is for market consultation purposes only and is not an invitation to tender, request for quotation, or call for competition. Participation in this engagement will not confer any advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement process
