Authority: ASTON UNIVERSITY (Education)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionAston University is inviting tenders to provide an Internal Audit Service (IAS). Aston University recognises the organisational value that may be derived through a robust control environment incorporating effective first, second and third lines.
Selecting the optimum co-source internal audit partner is very important to us: our vision is to be a leading university of science, technology and enterprise, measured by the positive transformational impact we achieve for our people, students, businesses and the communities we serve.
This means that we will need to think and act differently, beyond the conventional boundaries of today. We need an internal audit partner who can not only provide assurance over our current control environment, but can work with us collaboratively in accordance with our Values to achieve our 2030 strategy. This means providing insight and advice to support us to become future-proof, more resilient and responsive to external changes and disruptions, and able to drive new high impact developments.

Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 80
