Short description

The University has come a long way in a short time and has confidence for the future. Its ambition is to be firmly established as a top 10 UK university by 2020 and to build its global standing. The University is looking to appoint an Internal Auditor that, in addition to the internal controls that Internal Audit is required to audit, will also address key risks and associated controls that may impinge on the achievement of its strategy and to support its ambitions.
This opportunity has been divided into two (2) lots. Lot 1 is for the provision of general internal audit services. Lot 2 is for the provision of specialist IT internal audit services. Bidders are invited to bid for one or both of the Lots. As a guide the University envisages that Lot 1 equates to approximately 162 days and Lot 2: 25 days per annum, subject to final agreement with the University's audit committee.
