Internal audit is different from gap analysis

“Do we have to do an internal audit this year, if we carried out a full gap analysis against each clause, in preparation for our transition? If you do, would you have a sample template?”

Yes, you still need to do an internal audit. Internal audits and gap analysis are different things and have different purposes. A gap analysis identifies what is missing when it is supposed that something is missing. An internal audit is performed on a process that is supposed to be already operating according to the audit criteria. There is a before and after the gap analysis, there is no assurance that the changes needed were implemented and effective.
