Internal Audit Services Panel

The Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources (DMPR) has issued an invitation for bids to appoint a panel of service providers to conduct internal audit services for a period of thirty-six (36) months. Under a panel arrangement, the department may call on the appointed providers as and when specific internal audit assignments arise, rather than awarding a single contract for the full period. The tender is listed under Professional Services and is reference DMPR/012/2026/27. The bid document was published on 23 October 2026 and closes on 20 November 2026.

The supporting bid document (BID DOCUMENT.zip) could not be read for this summary, so the detailed scope of work, deliverables, reporting requirements, pricing structure and evaluation criteria have not been confirmed. Internal audit assignments in national departments are generally risk-based and may cover areas such as governance, risk management, internal controls, financial and performance information, and compliance with applicable legislation. As a national department, the DMPR is typically subject to the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA) and Treasury Regulations, and internal audit work is commonly expected to follow recognised professional standards. Bidders should confirm these expectations against the bid document itself.

Firms considering this opportunity should verify the mandatory and eligibility requirements in the bid documents, which may include compliance and registration obligations, tax clearance, B-BBEE status, experience and team qualifications, and any required declarations. Because the appointment is a panel over 36 months, it may offer repeat work for successful providers. Interested bidders should review the closing date and submission instructions carefully and submit complete, compliant documentation on time.
