Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the "Council Tax Payments Recovery" project was initiated by Clarion Housing Group, a sub-central government public authority located in London, United Kingdom. The tender aimed to audit historical council tax payments made by Clarion Housing Group to councils across England and Wales, with an objective to identify and recover potential refunds. The procurement, classified under financial and insurance services (CPV code: 66000000), progressed through various stages, including the award stage, with the contract starting on 26 February 2025 and concluding on 25 February 2026; however, it has the potential to be renewed for an additional 12 months. The procurement method was limited competition due to its below-threshold nature.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in financial services, auditing, and recovery services. A large-scale business like BWB Rating Ltd., which ultimately secured the contract, showcases how firms specialising in financial and tax auditing can capitalise on such tenders for growth. Businesses experienced in financial analysis and possessing a keen understanding of council tax regulations will find such opportunities particularly advantageous for expanding their service portfolio and showcasing their expertise in complex financial recoveries. The competitive process and structured guidelines indicate a preference for established entities capable of managing detailed and extensive audits effectively.
