Description

I am pleased to enclose a formal Invitation to Quote (ITQ) for Internal Audit, Counter Fraud and Security Management Services.

This ITQ is being issued under the East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub (EoECPH) Audit and Consultancy Audit Services Framework advertised in OJEU as 2014/S 125-222805.

Offers are invited subject to the terms and conditions of the East of England NHS Collaborative Procurement Hub Framework Agreement for Audit and Consultancy Audit Services.

NHS Mid Essex Clinical Commissioning Group, Basildon & Brentwood Clinical Commissioning Group, Thurrock Clinical Commissioning Group, Southend Clinical Commissioning Group, Castlepoint and Rochford Clinical Commissioning Group and West Essex Clinical Commissioning Group (The CCGs) will be the Contracting Authority for this Procurement exercise. The purpose of this ITQ is to provide The CCGs with sufficient information in order to identify a supplier that can provide high quality Internal Audit, Counter Fraud and Security Management Services whilst minimising costs and providing good value for money.

The Contracting Authority in accordance with best practice confirms that the Provider for Internal Audit, Counter Fraud and Security Management Services will not be the same as the Provider of External Audit Services to the Contracting Authority.

The CCGs are seeking to obtain the best price for the services overall, with the required quality of service.


Where or if standards are referenced in this document or other supplementary paperwork issued by the Contracting Authority, and which are either negated/replaced/updated/superseded, Providers should automatically apply the latest/applicable/relevant regulatory and/or professional audit delivery requirements to the services to be provided under the framework and against the ITQ.

Please note that these are subject to change and therefore bidders need to recognise the need to ensure that they check/refer/reference/evidence against the latest, most up to date Audit standards/guidance and policies applicable to this framework.
