What is being bought

The Council is seeking to procure a specialist partner to: 1. Diagnose strengths, weaknesses and risks across all layers of our service charge system and delivery model, using risk-based sampling to identify areas of concern such as high spend, high complaints or complex leases. An evidence led approach should test both billing accuracy and the actual performance of services funded by service charges. 2. Provide a prioritised, costed improvement roadmap which addresses all relevant areas including policy/process, systems/data, procurement, contract management and resident engagement. This should be categorised as quick wins and medium to long-term changes. 3. Produce clear, tribunal ready evidence trails for costs, apportionment and compliance; and clear resident facing materials to improve transparency. 4. Deliver a final Phase 3 whole population review so that every service charge scheme/block is reviewed, reconciled and assured, with corrections implemented or scheduled with a timebound plan, and with resident communications prepared. 5. Support Member and resident confidence by aligning our service charges policy and approach with all relevant statute and good practice.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 66. The category anchor is Financial consultancy services (66171000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 668442 median · 7.7 average (225 of 844 with a bid count)1.8 average (264 of 844 with named award suppliers)Not published
Same buyer0Not publishedNot publishedNot published
Delivery region: UKH3221 median · 1 average (1 of 2 with a bid count)1 average (1 of 2 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
