Summary of the contracting process

Northumberland County Council procured treasury management advisory services to support its treasury management function and compliance with the CIPFA Code of Practice on Treasury Management in the Public Services. The work covers developing the annual Treasury Management Strategy and related policies, advising on and managing borrowing, debt restructuring, counterparty assessment and monitoring, treasury management procedures and controls, and the legislative and regulatory framework. It also includes operational training and support. This is a specialist financial management consultancy and treasury services requirement, classified under CPV 66600000 and 79412000. Delivery is for the Council in Northumberland, in the North East of England. The buying organisation is Northumberland County Council, based at County Hall in Morpeth.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to MUFG Corporate Markets Treasury Limited on 20 August 2026. The award value is £76,340 including the stated procurement value, with the contract running from 21 August 2026 to 20 August 2028. The opportunity used a selective procurement method as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with the award described as a direct award through RM6237 GCA LVPS, Lot 1, the Low Value Purchase System. The tender submission deadline was 17 August 2026 at 12:00. The award allows two optional 12-month extensions after the initial term. The requirement was categorised as services and was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award shows that the Council buys an integrated treasury advisory service rather than a single financial analysis exercise. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in local-authority treasury management, including annual strategy development, borrowing and debt restructuring, counterparty risk assessment, monitoring, procedural controls, and interpretation of relevant legislation and regulation. The ability to support compliance with the CIPFA Code of Practice would be central, as would the capacity to provide practical operational advice and staff training. The selected supplier profile indicates that the requirement is aimed at established, specialist treasury or financial management consultancies with sufficient senior expertise and delivery capacity to support a county council’s ongoing treasury function.
