The objective of this procurement is to provide Contracting Authorities with a suite of financial-based services that can be deployed in a compliant and efficient manner to support Financial Resilience. The solution aims to support Contracting Authorities to strengthen and sustain their financial stability, particularly during periods of fiscal pressure and organisational change. NEPRO x Financial Resilience is a new framework for NEPO. As a strategic procurement solution, the Framework will fall under NEPO's 'NEPRO' brand. NEPRO provides outcomes-based frameworks for the public sector. The NEPRO x Financial Resilience Framework will provide a compliant, outcomes-focused route for Contracting Authorities to access expert support in navigating financial pressures and improving long-term sustainability. The Framework supports innovation in financial service delivery, enables tailored engagements, and fosters collaboration across the public sector. This Framework will operate under a single-lot structure. two Suppliers have been appointed to the Framework and may be used by NEPO Members and Associate Members to satisfy any one-off projects, unique requirements, or to enter into a partnership that can best meet their specific, longer-term needs. This multi-Supplier approach allows for alternative contracting options where a Contracting Authority may already be engaged with a Supplier to undertake auditing services, for example, and therefore may not use the same supplier for other financial services or projects. This framework will cover areas including but not be limited to the following: - Asset Rationalisation and Disposal - Cost Control and Resource Optimisation - Debt and Financial Risk Management - Digital Transformation and Innovation - Revenue Generation and Service Diversification - Shared Services and Strategic Partnerships - External Funding and Grant Maximisation - Strategic and Financial Advisory - Operational Restructuring and Improvement - Organisational Restructuring and Local Government Reorganisation - Transformation, Project, and Change Management - Procurement and Contract Management - Technical Accounting, Tax, and Financial Modelling - Sector Collaboration The NEPRO Financial Resilience Framework supports authorities facing financial pressures by offering tailored, high‑quality support at transparent and sustainable rates, with Best Price Assurance to demonstrate Value for Money. The framework embeds social value outcomes, supports collaboration through a buyer community, and ensures robust governance, compliance, and contract management. It enables both short‑term interventions and long‑term strategic partnerships, delivered by experienced suppliers to address immediate and future public‑sector financial challenges, including organisational design, workforce planning, innovation, and sector‑wide knowledge sharing.
