As an authority participating in the rates retention pilot scheme in Sandwell we currently retain 100% of the income generated through Business Rates. It is crucial we are able to manage our rating list effectively, forecast changes which may affect net collectable debit and maximise growth through early identification of commercial properties in the area. Rates avoidance is a serious concern and it is important that efforts are made to validate reductions applied as much as possible. In Sandwell large numbers of hereditaments receive Small Business Rates Relief but this will no longer apply if a company/organisation has more than one business in the same name. Sandwell MBC therefore require a company to provide Revenues Forecasting, RV Finder, Small Business Rates Relief Audit and Council Tax Property Finder. ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 48440000, 48441000, 66171000, 79212100, 79212500, 79412000 - **Delivery regions:** UKG - **Description:** Business Rates localisation presents a variety of challenges for local authorities in relation to the calculation and forecasting of the various elements of the business rates retention scheme.
