Description

The Welsh Parliament (Senedd Cymru) is undertaking preliminary market engagement to inform the potential future procurement of an Internal Audit service that provides the necessary assurances to the Principal Accounting Officer and adds value to the Commission. As part of this early stage activity, we are inviting interested suppliers to complete and submit a short questionnaire designed to help us understand current market capability, delivery models, and potential approaches to service provision. The information gathered through this engagement will support the Welsh Parliament in shaping any subsequent procurement strategy. Participation is voluntary, and responses will be used for research and planning purposes only. Completion of the questionnaire does not form part of any formal procurement process, nor does it create any obligation or advantage in any future tender. Suppliers with relevant experience in delivering Internal Audit services are encouraged to take part. Your insights will help ensure that any future approach is well informed, proportionate, and aligned with best practice. To obtain a copy of the questionnaire please email Helena Grant at helena.grant@senedd.wales. Responses to the questionnaire must be submitted to Helena Grant at Helena.grant@senedd.wales by Monday 16th March 2026. We appreciate your time and contribution to this engagement exercise and look forward to hearing from you.
