Notice Title

SC220274 - Treasury Advisor

Notice Description

The Council manages investments of some PS500m and a debt portfolio of circa PS800m. These are substantial sums of money and KCC is therefore exposed to significant financial risks including the loss of invested funds and the revenue effect of changing interest rates. KCC's strategic objective is to control and monitor these risks and minimize their impact on its revenue budget. The role of the treasury advisor is seen as being key to the Council achieving its objective. KCC is therefore seeking to appoint a treasury advisor to provide advice and guidance on its treasury management and investment strategy. The services provided must include investment advice and not just the provision of information. The Council will rely on the advice and information provided in making its own independent decisions on its treasury management and investment activities. These services supplement the Council's in-house capacity to take treasury management decisions with specialist treasury management advice enriched by high frequency contact with relevant financial institutions and their regulators and frequent consideration of a wide range of relevant sources of information and analysis relevant to the formation of such advice. Tenderers must demonstrate that they can deliver the above service specification by explaining how they would deliver each aspect of the service within each of the following sections below. Tenderers must make sure that they fully explain how the service would be delivered. Anything that is not directly relevant should not be included. Wherever possible tenderers should demonstrate how they will go further than what is being asked for, to add value. Candidates who wish to be considered for this opportunity are initially required to submit a Selection Questionnaire via the Kent Business Portal no later than 23rd January 2023. Documentation will be automatically issued on expression of interest on the Kent Business Portal.
