Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Merton is overseeing a procurement process for Treasury Advisory Services, aimed at supporting their treasury function in fulfilling regulatory reporting requirements. The process falls within the industry category of Treasury services (CPV code 66600000) and pertains to services to be delivered in England, United Kingdom. Initially tendered with a selective procurement method, the process involved a competitive dialogue to carefully select the best-suited supplier for their needs. The tender was awarded to Arlingclose Limited, with the award announced on 26 January 2026. The contract period is set to commence on 1 February 2026 and conclude on 31 December 2028, with a total contract value of £45,000. The procurement process was marked as complete at the time of award, with all necessary dialogues and evaluations carried out prior to this date.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies with expertise in treasury functions and advisory services. Although the opportunity was tailored to a supplier with expertise at a larger scale rather than SMEs or VCSEs, businesses operating within the financial consultancy sector and possessing a strong background in regulatory advisory might find similar opportunities valuable for their expansion within public procurement fields. The competitive dialogue aspect of the procurement emphasises the importance of engaging effectively with the contracting authority to demonstrate superior capabilities and tailored approaches to meet the unique requirements set forth by public sector entities like the London Borough of Merton.
