The Services will primarily support the Authority’s Investment & Advisory function, comprising its Banking & Investment team and its Local Authority Advisory & Lending team. The Services may also be utilised by other functional teams across the Authority, including Portfolio Management, Risk, and Impact teams. The Supplier will be required to provide access to a diverse network of subject‑matter experts, including (without limitation) founders, senior executives, high‑level officials, and academics.
